In PA, you just need to pay a $30 fee. Takes around 15 minutes to get the permit which lasts for 5 years.

I think its the same answer why most people originally start a MA. for self protection, to defend oneself, etc.
I got my permit because I like to load my clips before I go to the range and I couldnt carry a loaded clip to the range without one. Also, I travel across states as I live in two, so I keep a gun in both houses. If I go camping, I bring a gun, etc..
Some people carry them everywhere they go and you would never realize it. The interesting thing is that well over 90% of crimes involving guns used illegal guns from people without permits. And most of the legal ones were crimes of passion. This is one of the reasons why gun control in the US is a waste of time. They restrict guns from law abiding citizens, not the criminals.
