It depends on where you are. In the U.S. each state sets its own rules. For instance, in Tennessee, there is no such thing as a weapons permit, it's a handgun carry permit, and applies to handguns only. Other than handguns, basically anyone can carry any legal weapon, but to carry a handgun, you must have the handgun permit.
On the other hand, Florida issues a "concealed weapons permit" and it covers any legal weapon.
It depends on the state. For instance, in Florida, yes, it's a concealed weapons permit and it covers weapons besides just guns. If I remember correctly, you can carry any weapon that's legal to have. On the other hand, Tennessee issues a "Handgun Carry Permit" that only covers handguns and nothing else, BUT it is not illegal to carry a concealed knife as long as the knife is otherwise legal (has to be less than 4 inches, basically), so the permit is irrelevent regarding knives. ADDING: Georgia just changed their law in 2010 to issue a "weapons carry license" that includes both handguns and knives with blades 5" or longer. Such weapons are not only covered by the permit, but also not subject to any city or county local laws. State-level preemption. But that's Georgia. Other states are different.
It depends on where you are located.
A concealed weapons permit is only a license that allows you to carry a firearm in public without it being clearly visible. Owning a firearm is a completely different set of permissions, and is usually required before you can even get a concealed weapons permit.

You cannot carry a concealed gun in Illinois, but you can carry some types of weapons, such as pocket knives, and long as they are otherwise legal. Illinois does not have a concealed weapons permit.
