Open Carry Private Property

[thecolonel]

What is the status in Oklahoma in regards to open carry on private property. Specifically on the farm or minifarm. We may be moving to Oklahoma and would like to know what the law concerning OC is. You all have been very helpful in answering my questions concerning CCW in Oklahoma on a previous thread.

You need a "legitimate reason" to open carry on your own property.

I don't think there's a DA in their right mind who would try to prosecute you for OC on a farm, but you might check with your new DA first

"Legitimate Reason"?
Thats what I HATE.
I shouldn't need a reason at all.
I should be able to OC when I want, where I want. ESPECIALLY on my OWN property.

So I come home, and take my shirt off, and my carry gun becomes visible I become a criminal? But not at my business?

P.S. As far as farms go - varmint control is as legit as it goes.

I don't think you were/are breaking the law if it is land you own or lease (hunting lease is not exempt). You don't even have to have a hunting license to hunt your own land. (page 13 of the Oklahoma hunting guide) And you sure don't have to have a fishing license to fish your own pond.

Just read the summary of Piere versus State of OK. No way that would hold up after Heller.

Oklahoma should adopt many of the Arizona open carry laws in MHO....Everyone should be lobbying your reps to do just that...
