Oklahoma house OKs bill for permit free open carry

[yukonjack]

Well why is this law not making the illegal carry of a firearm MORE embolden to do so because basically anyone carrying will not be suspect or questioned any more. Basically the lawless, illegals, and x cons can say "hey with everyone on the streets carrying now we can too and never draw any unwanted attention. As more people open carry law enforcement has far less motivation to question who may or may not be legal. For instance a traffic stop takes place. The law enforcement officer will not have any reason to question the firearm the thug, illegal, or other lawless individual has with them in open view. Also it puts the law enforcement officer in a HUGE disadvantage because he/she will confront sooooooooooooooooo many people with them in open view. The officer will be much more likely to be shot as soon as they approach because an auto stop or other situation there would be no reason to confront the perpetrator in the car. Hey I just can see a buttload more killings of law enforcement now because this just further complicates their situation.
Also, when I see someone oc in public I am most of us are learning to be a bit more comfortable because at least there is a decent chance the person has been through a cc course. With this law none of us have ANY idea if the op carry guy is legal or not.

I'm guessing this is your joke post of the day. As it stands now you have NO idea if Tactical Terry carrying his HighPoint in a drop leg holster is a whackadoodle, convicted felon or just a law abiding citizen with cheap tastes.

And I'm sure you can cite plenty of examples of this from the numerous states where permitless open carry is already in effect, yes?

Wow....;/

29 states allow open carry without a permit currently, 8 allow either without a permit. Statistics prove your logic flawed...

Can we sit around and sing "the streets will run with blood."

I dont see how this will change anything. We all heard the same things when they started talking CC being legal. Then again with OC. I am more worried that many in the gun community are hell bent on more laws or ways to impede the rights of others.

The biggest whiner I have talked with about this bill is a fella who does the classes, he is of the opinion that he may not get as many people FORCED to take his classes.

This is why we need a like button.

It always amazes me how many "gun people" are against constitutional carry!

Bed wetters will always find something to soil their sheets about, let freedom ring.

People will still need a permit to carry outside of the state and to CC.

Well...I read the law and see nothing that mandates permitless carry to be "open " all I see is that it removes the permit requirement . may bee it would cause less turmoil if they called it the " no cost to be a good guy act " because as we have all seen , it doesn't make a difference what the law says CROOKS DON'T DO ANY OF IT !!!
