While most states don't require a permit, license or registration to purchase a gun a few do. But many states have restrictions on open carry in some form. It doesn't say where he was carrying the pistol. However he should have registerd it.

The McCain/Testor bill would repeal the city’s ban on semiautomatic weapons, authorize residents to buy guns and ammunition in Maryland and Virginia and repeal registration requirements, but many of the city councilmen there don't like it as well as the citizens. However they don't have voting rights either.
