I'm not trying to make a legal argument, I'm not a lawyer nor do I have the time. I was simply stating that it is free to bear arms. You can walk around all day with your weapon on your hip and not pay a dime.
It's kind of like having the FCC. We have freedom of speech and expression, which you can choose to use if you desire, but there are some ways that you are not allowed the full freedom.
Personally, I would rather pay a fee once every 5-7 years (my permit is FL) than a fine like I would have to pay to the FCC every time I cursed on-air.
My final point are the words "Well regulated militia." Take militia for what you will, personally I feel that part of the text is archane, but paying a small fee is easily understandable for administrative fees keeping us "well regulated."
Like I said, I have paid my money, I have my CWP and I carry. Now, thanks to this site and thread in particular, I OC as well. I make full use of my 2A rights.
Hoorah.

Neither is concealment Constitutionally prohibited. What I read is "keep and bear", not "keep and openly bear". I would be interested in reading your legal argument making the Constitutional distinction between open and concealed.
