CC = Concealed Carry
Honestly, I don't think you should have to get a concealed carry permit to conceal carry. Why? Because criminals do it anyway! They always have a concealed weapon when they go in and rob a store. They are already getting like 30 years for that, and the bringing up that he illegally concealed carry will only add maybe 5 years to his sentence, which really doesn't make a difference.
Let me give you an example: Let's say Rob lives in a bad area. He's almost under the poverty line, and he has two jobs to make sure he can provide food for his family. Recently, Rob bought a Glock 19. His state gives out concealed carry permits, but it is a lengthy process (8 hour training course, lots of paper work, ect). Open carry? Nah, Rob doesn't want to scare the socialist soccer moms, and the criminals would target him because of his gun out there in the open. So Rob decides to conceal carry his Glock 19 ILLEGALLY, for his own safety. One day he is walking back from work, and a group muggers start following him, and he sees that they have pulled out guns and knives (That they were carrying illegally!). Before they even get a foot away from Rob, he turns around, and shoots the entire group, killing all but one (That one became paralyzed). Because he was carrying illegally, he gets charged and gets 5 years (I don't know what the usual punishment is) in jail. Now, his family doesn't have someone to put food on the table.
Before you bring up that "Oh it will be the wild west!" bull crap, take this into consideration: Criminals don't follow the law, and they sure as hell won't get a CCW permit if they are planning to break the law by robbing or killing somebody already! |

Look at the Rob scenario. There's a lot of people in that position.
Adding on to the Rob scenario: If hid state had unrestricted concealed carry, he wouldn't be in jail. |

So people can buy a gun, and walk around with it secretly without needing any permission/permits

Do you want to be a criminal?

Of course you wouldn't be a criminal if you could secretly carry a gun legally without a permit
But that's like saying if people could kidnap/kill anyone legally, then they wouldn't be criminals |

Maybe not using guns could have made the situation better for "Rob"

Carry a gun =/= kidnapping
"Maybe not using guns could have made the situation better for "Rob""
But he would be dead if he didn't have that gun |

I'm not saying that carrying a gun=kidnapping
I'm saying that sure, making something bad legal would make people not be criminals
But that doesn't make it any less bad |

yup
"Can't you already?"
In Wyoming, Alaska, Arizona, Vermont, and Missouri, you can conceal carry a firearm unrestricted. In most states, you need a permit.
"Hey let's let random people carry guns without permission I means sure they're totally NOT suspicious."
criminals already do |

My point is that carrying a concealed weapon should be legal and unrestricted, so people who don't have the time to go through a permit can carry for self defense |

Of course if it was legalized then it wouldn't be illegal.
But someone could die either way.

And permits don't stop criminals anyway. If someone is already gonna break the law, do you think they care if they break another one? |
