To permit, or not to permit? That is the question.

[CompIllitR8]

Point taken. Defying laws and ordinances that erode the Second Amendment IS as crazy, harmful to the public and equal in seriousness as driving 90 mph through a school zone with kids running everywhere firing guns up in the air. I stand corrected.

Awsome!

why should we have to ask permission?

if it is a right, and not a privilege, then what is the point of licensing, other than the state increasing its revenue, while keeping the poor disarmed?

If nothing else you become a number. The more permit holders there are the more folks pay attention to your wants, needs, desires...and rights!

You're just a number.

A number on a list of people who carry guns and will need to be disarmed first.

Now THAT makes sense! Any privilege that can be granted can be taken away.

Yes, it is always best to submit and obey. Questioning government and civil disobedience is unpatriotic and something our Founding Fathers would have never done.

No, but sometimes it's cutting of your nose to spite your face.

Going to plant your Constitutional flag on this issue? Like Henschman said, the probability of getting caught is low, so how much skin would one really have in the game by carrying without a permit...and is it really a bold move in terms of "questioning government" and exercising some civil disobedience? Hardly the stuff of a die hard Constitutional warrior.

Man up. Shred that driver's license and social security card, stop paying your unconstitutional income taxes and get serious...or continue to pretend you're "all about the Constitution". Either way.

As an attorney, are you really encouraging people to not only break the law, but lie to a police officer?? I don't agree with having to get a handgun license either, but I won't break the law just because I disagree with it.

spd since you are a LEO this question is for you but it does pertain to the subject. Should a person be arrested for carrying without a permit is the gun not confiscated? This might not be a big deal to some folks but I am on a fixed income and although my guns are not the most expensive they make up a major investment for me.

Yes the firearm is confiscated.

Whether we agree or not, Article 2 Section 26 of the Oklahoma Constitution says the legislature may control the carrying of weapons. They have done so and the SDA is the means they have devised to exercise that control. Illegally carrying a firearm is not a good way to start your explanation of how and why you had to defend yourself.
