The State of Oklahoma levies a tax or user fee on a method of self-defense.Do you need a permit to carry a knife?Do you need a permit to learn martial arts?Do you need a permit to.... <enter your form of defensive tool> here?No, you dont. A CCW costs about $200 after you pay for the full meal deal. If your legal to own a firearm (per Federal law) you should be able to transport that firearm as you see fit. Some people cannot afford to permit the gun they own...and that hogleg could have been a gift, passed down or whatever.I think it's a fee that is prejudicial and creates a class distinction.Yea--- start a riot acting a fool with a gun... go to jail, just like you would if you waved a Bowie knife around- or running folks down the sidewalk in a car.43 states have some form of open carry... a lot have had a resurection of that right in just the last few years. If blood int the street was all the rage elseware don't ya think Linda Cavanaugh and Kelly Ogle would be talking about those instances daily?</blockquote>
