I don't agree. It is not my place to tell you that you can not keep a primate as long as you keep that primate in such a manner that it does not create a danger to the public, me being the public. If I come over to your home with the understanding that you have a primate running around inside your secure house, I am accepting the risk.

Only two arguements can be used against keeping dangerous and wild animals.

1. The owner is just plain stupid and can't or doesn't secure the animal properly which then poses a risk to the public. Can't or doesn't is in refering to mental capacity as well as financial capacity.
2. When children are in the house and parents don't take the steps to protect the kid from exposure to the dangerous and wild animal(s). You can have children and these animals in the same house, but some common sence needs to take place as well. Remember a kid will jump off the roof of a house with a garbage bag as a parachute as their idea of danger is a little differnt due to a lack of understanding and remarkable ability to bounce.
Correct, a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Does your neighborhood know youre concealing a massive constrictor? If it was your child hurt or killed by some idiot neighbors ridiculously powerful pet you would sing a different tune. This mentality goes both ways, I dont care unless it affects me. Thats why we have laws.
