Doc & Sda

[Crosstimbers Okie]

Apparently, the Cleveland County Sheriff's Department and the DA thought that opinion was worth the paper it's written on. Which is smart since it's a direct contradiction of what's explicitly stated in the SDA.

"Where prisoners are located" could be a rest stop or the side of the road on an interstate highway. The key to 57 O.S. 2001, § 21 cite:

Any person who, without authority, brings into or has in his or her possession in any jail or state penal institution or other place where prisoners are located, any gun, knife, bomb or other dangerous instrument . . . shall be guilty of a felony and is subject to imprisonment in the State Penitentiary for not less than one (1) year or more than five (5) years, or a fine of not less than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) or more than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), or both such fine and imprisonment.

... which dates back to 1955 is that the "authority" it discusses was granted by the legislature in 1995 with passage of the Oklahoma SDA. The legislature was, and is, perfectly capable of stating that handuns carried pursuant to the SDA shall not be stored in a vehicle which is parked in prison or county jail parking lots. The legislature doesn't need some sleazeball attorney general trying to legislate from the AG's office at the behest of a state bureaucrat.

See Page 14. Missouri & Texas, and Kansas which is not listed because the survey includes only the 14 largest prison systems in the US. All allow permit holders to store their firearms in their vehicles while parked in prison parking lots but the turds who run Oklahoma DOC still refuse to allow their employees to do so in contravention of Oklahoma Law.

The problem is, in a nutshell, Justin Jones & the other executive Leadership of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections believe, deep down in their Leftist thug-loving souls, that thugs in prison should have their sacrosanct asses kissed by honest citizens rather than kicked by mean ol' Guards. Therefore those Guards and any other Citizen who visits a state prison in Oklahoma must be disarmed so that thugs have the right to roam prison parking lots at will, looking for **** to steal. Because , Hey! Someone could have thrown trash out of their window and into the prison parking lot and some convict has to pick it up lest it pollute the environment.
