[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1660525, member: 42"] Over analyze the law? We are discussing the law so who defines "over analyzing"? It's written pretty clear and, as you and Veggie posted, Pierce and Gilio are case law/precedent to support the fact that open carry, even inside your home, is against the law in the state of Oklahoma. Only legal/legislative action will change it....hence the big movement for Open Carry legislation. From 1272: "It shall be unlawful for any person to carry upon or about his or her person, or in a purse or other container belonging to the person, any pistol, revolver, shotgun or rifle whether loaded or unloaded..." There are specific exemptions to the above listed in 1272, 1289.6 and 1290 but [I]none[/I] of them cover "tending land" or open carry in the home. I have repeatedly asked someone, anyone, to cite the portions of any statute that exempts such activity from the very clear and broad restriction in 1272...and nobody has. I can be convinced, but not by foot stomping. Pretend I'm from Missouri and "show me" the exemption to 1272 that allows one to open carry on their property or in their home when not engaged in any of the activity listed as exemptions. Maybe the "any legitimate purpose" clause gives an out, but I don't think so....?? [/QUOTE]
