The handgun permit and handgun permit laws allow you legally carry a handgun, but the handgun permit laws don't specify when you can use the gun.

Oh yes - monotremes are mammals, which means that they have hair (which is unique to mammals) and also nurse their young from mammary glands. Monotremes do lay soft, rubbery eggs, which is a behavior that is unique among mammals but they are strictly mammals regardless.
