Usually a gun permit allows one to carry a concealed weapon. In a perfect world - and why I like the counties which teach Weaponry Safety - is that everyone (except those who opt out) knows how to handle guns safely. One of the very best classes that is open to everyone is the NRA's Personal Protection Course. There is so much more to personal protection than just "putting a gun under a pillow", and that's the main thrust of the classes. That's why someone from the NRA usually teaches these classes, and they stress what to do before deciding to arm oneself.
Also, being licensed to carry in one state does not necessarily mean you're able to do so in other states. Some states have reciprocal agreements, but not all.
As I've said several times before, Washington DC has the strictest gun laws in the country, and one of the highest crime rates. When that changes, I may change my mind. Until then, I'm usually packing.
