How the hell does Wisconsin rank 5 spots ahead of us with this bio?

In Wisconsin, there is a 48-hour waiting period on handgun purchases. As of 2011, the state has concealed carry with no duty to inform, but no carry on some city buses. Machine guns are not legal to own. The NRA-ILA describes the legality of short-barreled rifles and suppressors as "a state of flux and clarification," adding legislators are seeking reform.

How in the hell do we get a 4 on NFA/Class III? Oklahoma law basically says "you have to follow Federal law on this subject," which you have to do anyway...

I Lol'd at Missouri's Bio.

A new bill was just introduced in the Missouri state legislature that would send lawmakers who introduce anti-gun legislation to prison, a week after a group of Democrats from St. Louis introduced an Assault Weapons Ban—which will get nowhere in the Republican-controlled state house.

I agree. OK should have gotten a 10 on class3/NFA. Probably should have gotten a lower score on CC laws though. Too many restricted places, signs carry weight of law, etc.

Having moved here from California, it seemed as if Oklahoma was the BEST gun friendly state. I am surprised to see we are ranked 30th

I think 7/10 is about right on that one--we're a Shall-Issue state with open carry and no duty to retreat, and our right to keep a firearm in our cars trumps an employer's power to say we can't, among other positives--but G&A completely screwed the pooch on that NFA ranking. We should be in the top ten, tied for 6th. There's no way at all that we're in the bottom half of the country.
