You want to start collecting guns? So you want to buy and display your weapons? You don't need a CCW permit for that. You don't need a CCW to have a gun hidden in your home or place of business. A .45 caliper is pretty heavy, it may be hard to conceal one of those as well. I hope your a really big guy. Before you buy a gun take some training classes and learn how to use it is real life situaions not just going to the range. Anyone can shoot a gun in a controlled situation but when you have 1 sec to think you need to be able to act quickly without shooting yourself or exposing yourself.
