[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1766957, member: 24428"] Some anti open carry writer had submitted a letter to the Oklahoman's editor / your views on-line section whinning about police officers profiling people who open carried and some other dribble that got printed last week. I just submitted my own commit... we'll see if it gets posted or seriously edited...as it barely got in under the 250 word limit. I suggest submitting your own comments in support of Open Carry! ----------------- Oklahoman- "Re: Open Carry. Up until '71 Okla had open carry.. people weren't background checked, nor trained in applicable laws, nor licensed & there sure wasn't blood running in the streets. I dare anyone to point to one single example of a news story [B]from Oklahoma's past[/B] where someone legally open carrying got into a illegal gunfight! Open carry was only stopped due to political correctness running amok, not due to unlawfulness. Now, 30 yrs later the proposed Open Carry License will require background checks & training with the weapons carried & in the applicable laws. It will limit places where weapons can be openly carried such as all government buildings, schools and private businesses that choose to opt out. Police officers will have the 'option' of checking anyone who is openly carrying a weapon. And violators of the new open carry laws will face stiff fines and possible jail time.
