Don't try to analyze that logic, it will only sprain something.
Not exactly. One permit is to be able to own the gun and keep it home. The additional permit is to carry it, and as you mentioned, conceal it. Above you are speaking about the carry permit which costs a bit more over just having the owners permit. (The logic of having two pieces of plastic when you purchase both permits escapes me. The carry permit certainly supercedes the owners permit. )
