What about Tulsa Police Stations? Lets say I need to get some information from a particular police officer and I want to stop by the station for a chat. Since it's 'tulsa', it would be 'city' right? I would think an OHP station would be off-limits because it is 'state'. Is that correct?

I know it may sound odd, but I'm actually against that law. It breaks down to the same right we enjoy in owning and carrying out firearms: private property. This law prevents someone from deciding what goes on on their own private property.

No, it doesn't. It merely allows you to store a firearm inside your private property (an automobile) in their parking lot. They may still prevent you from concealed carry inside their establishment or even in the parking lot if you get out of your car/truck. This law protects them from lawsuits (which was their main argument). In many states your automobile is your "domicile" and has the same protections as being inside your home.

Well, next time that you want to go into a place that has a No Guns allowed sign, walk in. Immediately find the manager, and tell them you want to come into the establishment, however, since you are not allowed to protect yourself within the laws of the state of Oklahoma, they therefore have to afford you the same protection, and demand an employee, or manager, walk around the store with you the whole time.

Worked once for me, and then they told me that I could bring my firearm in next time.

Exactly. If a friend requests that I not bring a gun into their home, I will respect that (okay, I don't have weenie friends, but if I did...). BUT, they have no right to tell me that I can't protect my family on the road on the way over, at the gas station, when our car breaks down and we have to walk, etc...

Same concept. Many of us take our kids to school / daycare on the way to work, and this law would keep us from being made helpless by employers. So while I respect private property rights, this seems like the best combo to me.

It is my understanding that any place not specifically listed in the Oklahoma concealed carry laws (Federal Bldgs, Elementary Schools etc) do not have any legal basis to support a "no Weapons" policy. In other words, it is exactly like the "no shoes, no shirt, no service" at McDonalds. If you do go in without a shirt or shoes, the most they can do is ask you to leave.

The bill in this case though is very specific and only applies to parking lots. People can honor your wishes by not carrying into your private building or elsewhere on your private property, but you can't tell them that they can't leave their firearm inside thier personal vehicle, on your private, but publically accessible parking lot. That's all it's for.

So, who will be guarding the parking lots??? Cause if my gun gets stolen from my vehicle on their property, I'll be pi$$ed. (I could have kept control of it on my person....)

Cool!! Except, this bonehead employee or manager will be the first one hotfooting it out of there when the stuff hits the fan. I'll pass.
