Depending on your permit and the states around you (reciprocity), it also allows you to carry a loaded weapon across state lines.
One of many reasons I got mine was that it allows me to be armed while traveling - often with sizable amounts of cash used for purchasing equipment and materials for my business. In the event my rental trailer (since I don't own one - it's always a rental) has issues, I'm prepared to defend myself against highway bandits till a tow or road service arrives.
