HB2522: Open Carry

[Hobbes]

I have a question or two, not that it makes any difference but I'm sure someone here knows the answer.

Has Oklahoma ever allowed open carry, with or without a permit, since it was created in 1907?
If so, what are the reasons and circumstances that caused OC to be outlawed?

I can't say for sure, but I think it was legal in that before the law went into effect making it illegal there was no law prohibiting it.

A similar question, does anyone know when it became illegal?

Hi,

I seriously can't believe that 43 states allow some form of open carry and that Oklahoma isn't one of them...

Thanks,

Oklahoma had open carry up until 1971.

Good. Now email your rep and senator. Preaching to the choir wont promote YOUR agenda

What with another mass shooting... this one out in California today [at leat five killed at a Korean school], I just can't see unlicensed open carry passing here in Oklahoma... especially in the next 5 yrs.

and that event like other tragic events shows why the "gun free zone" is a myth. Active shooters always shoot up places were they will not encounter resistance.
Add that to the email or phone call your making to your Senate and House member

I think you're correct. It happened because we let it happen. I believe somewhere around mid-century. I don't know why that rings a bell with me.

Here you go folks.
Those of you that were asking who to call.
These two will make a nice start.
Then your own congressmen.
Be polite, but let them know you want results.
