[QUOTE="okiebryan, post: 1767048, member: 24457"] As far as I can tell, the 1971 Firearms act in Oklahoma was a response to what had happened in California a couple of years prior. The Black Panthers were protesting something that the CA legislature was doing, and showed up at the Capitol, open carrying rifles and handguns. The CA legislature immediately outlawed the open carry of loaded weapons. I think this was in 1968, but I'm not sure and can't look it up right now. I can't say with 100% certainty, but I think that Oklahoma's 71 law was a direct result. Several other states enacted similar laws just after what happened in California. [/QUOTE]
