I tried searching for why the distinction exists. It's tough to find an actual answer that isn't, "It makes police feel better". If we were to take the time to trace the legal history of this, my guess is we would end up finding reasoning that is just as retarded. We know there's an agenda to disarm the general public so I would chalk it up to a tactic with that end as the goal. The general strategy seems to be something like this:

  1. Take a right you don't want people to have (owning guns)

  2. Find an instance of that right being exercised that is morally gray (concealed carry)

  3. Make a license for that gray area.

  4. Eventually make the argument that the license should apply to the right in general (license to own guns)

  5. Once you need a license for something, it's all over. The government now controls that right (or privilege)

Thanks for the comment. Logical and matches the templates we see in other rights.

Nicely done.
One thing, though. The five of us each have our own trench coats.

For when it gets cold inside the mother trenchcoat?

Yes, and for the times we need to be in different locations.
