> What is a concealed carry law exactly

It means a person can get a license to carry a concealed gun on their person. Typically it requires a bit of training and a test. I live in a more free for all state, and you can get a CCW with a couple Saturdays of class and a hand gun shooting test.

In the "free for all" states judges and juries are also generally more understanding of victims rights in self-defense situations so you are less likely to be branded a murderer in a self-defense situation. In victim-hostile states and counties you have a much higher burden of proof of innocence before the law system as a victim acting in self-defense.
