I remember riding to Ponca city and meeting an officer who would stop you if you were not wearing a helmet. He would look on his list to see if you had been stopped before and if you had he would write you a ticket. If you were not on the list he would add you to it for the next time you were stopped. This was your one warning. If you rode to other towns you needed to have a helmet with you just incase their laws required one.This made going for a all day ride a bit of a hassle for those wishing not to wear one.While I do favor State preemption on most laws I might consider doing like a few other States do in that they allow Major Cities to opt out on Open Carry. If for instance the Two major cities in Oklahoma were the only stumbling block in allowing the citizens in the rest of the State to exercise their freedom would it be wrong to compromise? So long as it was written to make it mandatory that those Cities had to issue a warning first before an actual ticket that would protect those not aware of this special exception allowed to those Cities.Michael</blockquote>
