There is nothing to stop you from flying a retractable gear airplane with the gear always down. If the landing gear is permanently fixed in the extended position, the FAA requires that the gear-retraction lever (or switch) be removed or placarded as "inoperative".

Additionally, retractable-gear aircraft have a maximum speed permissible with gear extended (VLE) obviously, the aircraft would be permanently limited to this speed.
