Yeah there are limitations.

But oddly enough you have more liberty in where you can go with an 
openly displayed pistol and no permit than the other way around.  Banks, 
for example.

Actually if you have your concealed carry permit, you can use that in 
lieu of the purchase permit now.  That law changed 2 or 3 years ago.  So 
once you're licensed to pack, no more asking "mother may I buy a pistol" 
(except the dreaded background check that criminals usually don't go 
through themselves)
