Conceal carry is normal. Unless it is a gun convention, open carry is taken as weirdly aggressive. And it is a separate permit. And a lot of places, i.e. schools, bars, forbid weapons.

Concealed carry also makes the controversy more muted. An educated free citizen can obtain a firearm pretty easily even without permission, and not many would know.

- 3d printing schematics exist online for guns.
- A free citizen can communicate with a gun owner without being monitored and trade for it. - Basic guns and ranged weaponry are not that hard to manufacture in the traditional way.
