Constitutional carry passes the Oklahoma house

[OKCHunter]

That's just dumb. I find it extremely hard to believe 90% of people who come to their classes have never picked up a gun. The reality is they would lose a lot of business if a true constitutional carry passed. It's all about the money.

Maybe ask what kind of training above and beyond the useless state requirement they do in their classes? And if they've lobbied the state to make training requirements more stringent, the class longer or anything else to improve their students' perceived ineptitude?

Not all instructors feel that way. And I really doubt that 90% of those 90% that come through his class are "qualified" or "trained" enough to carry either...needs to be more concerned with citizen rights than his wallet...

Oklahoma has had "constitutional carry" forever, it's called hunting. I carried shotguns, rifles and handguns with no formal training for years, just what my dad and gramps taught me. Of course now to get a hunting license one must do the hunter safety course, but even that doesn't do much "training" how to use a firearm. One can even transport in a motor vehicle a magazine loaded long gun.

SDA instructors should have no voice in this. They are an artificiality created by the original SDA. Many of them are barely more qualified than the "students" some of them are disparaging.

This is a rights issue, not a training/trainer issue. I don't give two F's what an SDA instructor's opinion is.

If crime rates go up it will be a bad move.. but again, criminals don't pay attention to the laws anyway so who knows.
I just don't want to see a bunch of mall ninjas trying to be billy badass with their hi-points in plain sight in leg holsters giving all of the rest of us bad names.


I have a feeling we will see much more of this...

You're exactly right, but I'd go a step further and say OSBI shouldn't have a say in this either. They always lobby against this because of their loss of revenue. There purpose is not handgun permits, they are a law enforcement agency.

I went to a gun show in Durant today. Very good show. However, I lost count of the people I saw who picked up weapons to check out and pointed them around the room as though they were there all alone. How many fingers on triggers? Let me count the times!

I support Constitutional Carry! However, it is ridiculous to open the doors for total novices to be able to walk around with a gun on their hip without knowing the basics of firearm safety.

Yes, current training requirements suck! That doesn't mean more meaningful training couldn't be developed. The people who put this law together should have taken the next logical step to make there efforts complete.

Maybe they ought to start teaching gun safety and shooting at school.

This....if you put in the law that training is mandatory, then youve created a revenue collection ...;/
Its about a right not whats right
Lets just hope that the trained out number the untrained.....do your part..
