[QUOTE="Slack, post: 1302588, member: 13947"] PART 2 If we want to take a different tack, we could identify a specific purpose and determine if it is indeed "legitimate". So I propose there are several legitimate purposes, but the purpose I choose to pursue is open carry of a loaded shotgun, rifle, or pistol for the purpose of self defense. It would seem obvious to talk about our US Constitution, 2nd Amendment rights to keep and bear arms, but I would rather defer to the Oklahoma State Constitution which more strongly enforces our rights: It seems quite clear, that the use of arms for personal protection is "legitimate" according to our state constitution. Further more 21 O.S. § 1289.2 support attempts to support this: And from the SDA, 21 O.S. § 1290.25: So based upon all of the above it seems that Open Carry for the purpose of Self Defense should be an appropriate exception to 21 O.S. § 1272 per 21 O.S. § 1289.6 (A6). Of course there are plenty of statutes that keep this from applying universally, since felons aren't allowed to carry weapons, weapons are unlawful in certain locations and situations. Primarily the same places it would be unlawful for conceal carry. What are your thoughts? :flamed: [/QUOTE]
