I'm talking about in a state like where I live where it's perfectly legal to carry openly, what purpose does a concealed carry permit offer.
To start with if a person is not legal to carry or possess a firearm he's going to conceal it anyway, and if caught will go to jail for it. Just because they don't have a concealed carry isn't going to stop them from carrying if they want to carry. And if a person can carry and own a firearm I don't see a difference whether it's carried openly or concealed if it's an open carry state.
Can anybody explain why you have to have a permit

Because, without a permit, you can't get one of them nifty badges that says, "Permit Holder". Don
Otherwise if I am not mistaken even states where open carry is legal concelaed carry isn't.

If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

Wrong, you can buy them for a dime a dozen off of fleabay without having a license
Because they still issue permits, even though it is not required. They do this because they know their residents may want to travel to other states that do require it.

But then it would be a lie! Don
If you got a problem with that, meet me behind the flagpole after school[:D]

The permitting process started when some scared pissy pants down in GA thought to herself one day "You know, guns may be scary, but a gun I can't see is even scarier." Then she wet herself at the thought of it. Fearmongering via the bullypulpit accomplished the rest, at the behest of the NRA.
To be completely fair though, the concept that concealing a gun = bad dude dates back to the early 19th century. It was generally accepted that good guys carried their guns openly, and that only dudes who were up to no good would try to hide their guns. And so carrying concealed was made illegal. It was the folks in GA that said (after a lot of pressure) hey maybe it shouldn't be. Throw in some bigotry aimed at blacks and you have your basic history of concealed carry permits.
But to be clear: all restrictive gun laws that have been instituted to date have been done so "to keep people safe". And they always succeed in operatively doing the reverse. Even so with laws prohibiting concealed carry.

States should recognize the 2nd Amendment, and allow their citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Otherwise, it is not a right....it is a privilege. The whole system is broken. You don't need a permit to exercise your 1st Amendment right across state lines......well.....not yet anyways....

he had acquire a pistol permit.
Badges are illegal in my state, internet sales not withstanding.

Not necessarily, not all states recognize other states CCW permits. I know the state I live in is only surpassed by Florida by the amount of states that will recognize it. But in any case you can't carry in every state, and you can't carry it out of the country. So that argument is shot to s***

one difference here is that open carry yo cannot havebut four rounds in a revolver and the chamber under the hammer must be on an empty one and the next up has to be empty, on an semi auto there can be no round in the chamber. concealed carry you can carry six in a revolver an d a semi auto can have one in the chamber an a full magazine

Exactly, IF you live in a state like NC where open carry is legal for anyone allowed to own a hand gun, the Concealed carry permit allows you to carry that firearm concealed.
Otherwise if I am not mistaken even states where open carry is legal concelaed carry isn't.

Good luck with open carry in cities such as Asheville, Charlotte, Raliegh, etc. City ordinances can and do supercede state law.
Judges with uncertain intentions. Forgotten the Constitution.
