[QUOTE="OV1kenobi, post: 1799951, member: 5005"] It is my understanding that rural landowners, not having a CCW permit/license may legally open-carry on land they legally own/control. If so, I believe I fall under that category, being a rural Rogers County landowner outside of any city or town limits. In fact, my area is patrolled ONLY by the Rogers County Sheriff's Department and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Because of former financial constraints (recently resolved, thank God!), I do not have a CCW permit/license - although I took the CCW course in 2008, but hope to have my permit/license by the end of the year. If the above is true, then I am curious about the following scenario: Without taking one step upon the paved, county/state road that runs in front of my property, will I be able to legally carry a revolver loaded with snake shot while clearing brush, grass and other debris from the drainage ditch that runs along the front of my property without a CCW permit/license? Is there some sort of easement that goes to a certain depth from the county-maintained road that would technically be under county/state control that would preclude me from openly carrying a weapon for protection against snakes or other predators while clearing the drainage ditch along the front of my property? Or, is that land still under my control as long as I do not step foot upon the road/highway? Perhaps it would be a good idea to get clarification from Sheriff Walton's office or the Rogers County District Attorney? Just thought it would be an interesting question to ponder.
