I have been told that, while “concealed carry” requires permission, “open carry” does not. Does anyone know if this is true?
Can Wyatt Earp strap on a 6-shooter and walk down main street as long as it’s open for all to see?
The law varies state by state. Open carry is illegal in some locations, even (especially) for those who are licensed to carry concealed.
As for the premise of the OP, I agree the federal law is a bit of a joke, in that it does not require a state to admit carry - if a state forbids carry, then (goes the federal law), those are the terms that apply, period. And the law does noting to make uniform the regulations that pertain to "licensed" carry.
Federal second amendment jurisprudence is broken at a fundamental level, and not many people in the government dare to admit it. Lots of precedents built on utter falsehoods, rendered by judges, and Congress did/does squat about it.
Open or concealed. no permit needed- it's a right.
At least it is in Wyoming. And in some other free states- four total now, I believe.

Each state makes it’s own laws.
In NY you need a permit to carry period.
