[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1785432, member: 24428"] FYI- When you are talking with anti-gun people and our legislators about SB1733 and 'Open Carry' here is a factoid you might work into your conversations. Arizona [which is open carry without a permit] had a population of [B]6,392,017 [/B]per the 2010 U.S. Census. Oklahoma had a population of only [B]3,751,351[/B]! Arizona's heavily populated Maricopa county alone has a population of [B]3,817,117 [/B]people.. more than the entire state of Oklahoma. And yet, Arizona has absolutely no problems with open carry. You watch their nightly news casts across the state... no open carry problems are being reported... even with their illegal immigrant & border problems involving Mexico. Anyone who might point out the nut job that shot Representative Gabby Giffords and the others needs to be reminded that he was not open carrying! Criminals like that guy don't show their weapon until they are about to start shooting. However, one of the men who tackled the shooter WAS legally carrying a weapon.. he just didn't draw his weapon... choosing instead to tackle the shooter while he was reloading. Arizona's population per City & county as of the 2010 census: Phoenix: 1,445,632 Tucson: 520,116 Mesa: 439,041 Chandler: 236,123 Glendale: 226,721 Scottsdale: 217,385 Gilbert: 208,453 Tempe: 161,719 Peoria: 154,065 Surprise: 117,517 Yuma: 93,064 Avondale: 76,238 Flagstaff: 65,870 Goodyear: 65,275 Lake Havasu City: 52,527 Buckeye: 50,876 Casa Grande: 48,571 Sierra Vista: 43,888 Maricopa: 43,482 Oro Valley: 41,011 Here are Arizona's 2010 county populations as reported by the Census Bureau: Apache: 71,518 Cochise: 131,346 Coconino: 134,421 Gila: 53,597 Graham: 37,220 Greenlee: 8,437 La Paz: 20,489 [B]Maricopa: 3,817,117[/B] Mohave: 200,186 Navajo: 107,449 Pima: 980,263 Pinal: 375,770 Santa Cruz: 47,420 Yavapai: 211,033 Yuma: 195,751 Source: U.S. Census Bureau And open carry isn't a problem in any of these major populated areas! It won't be in Oklahoma either! [/QUOTE]
