[QUOTE="pak-40, post: 1447797, member: 5756"] I personaly find no comfort knowing that if my life, or the lives my loved ones are in danger from some criminal or psycho with only [B][I][U]SECONDS[/U][/I][/B] to spare, the police are [B][I][U]MINUTES[/U][/I][/B] away! Though I appreciate the hard work that police officers offer to the community, they can't be everywhere at once and chances are that none will be around if I am ever confronted by someone dangerous enough to justify lethal force. It is completely unrealistic to think that the police can/will protect you all the time. Heck, even the supreme court has ruled that the police have absolutley no duty to defend individuals. When I am armed, I put myself on at least an even footing with the guy trying to hurt either myself or my family. Why would [B][B][I][U]ANYONE[/U][/I][/B][/B] want to deny me that right to adequately defend myself? The framers of the constitution understood that. Many other states understand that. Even my 4 year old son understands that. Why can't the Oklahoma Legislature understand that? The argument against open carry makes no sense to me. I passed the background checks to get my CC license. That makes me a fine, upstanding citizen in the eyes of the law. If I can carry concealed, why shouldn't I be able to carry out in the open? I'm actually a little safer that way. The draw is quicker from a good belt holster over an IWB. Gets back to that "when seconds count" thing. [/QUOTE]
