You can even have fully automatic guns (by another special license).
You probably couldn't get away with carrying it loaded in your hand. you'd get nailed for at the very least brandishing the fire arm and in most cases also some sort of charge for causes a domestic disturbance / threat of force ... etc. Just a bad idea.
But yes, most states, provide some ability for the citizens to get a permit to carry a loaded fire arm concealed from view.
the person on MTV that got arrested for having the "machine gun" ... it could have been that the person was under 21 (if it was semi auto short barrelled rifle or pistol), the gun was stolen, didn't have a concealed weapon permit, didn't have a class 3 license, or was in a state that doesn't allow the use of class 3 weapons (full auto falls into that)...
