[QUOTE="jdagreek, post: 1408308, member: 14916"] I have no idea as to the voracity of the original post. However, if the Tulsa County Sheriff is taking it upon himself to circumvent the law, this could be rectified quicker and easier in a different way. If people in the Tulsa area are being negatively affected by these actions their local State Legislators could possibly solve this problem by asking the State Attorney General for an official opinion on the legality of the process in which the Tulsa County Sheriff is administering the CCW statutes. It may take some time to do this, but if the ORA officials would approach a number of local legislators they could possibly get this issue expedited by the AG. People who are in official positions to administer law don't have the latitude to implement the law however they want. There are always little issues that get in the way, but in general they must follow the intent and spirit of the law. As I initially wrote, I don't know the particulars of this issue. I also know from experience the law is often interpreted erroneously by lay people. In my view and from my experience getting the AG to rule on this "specific" issue is way more advantageous than petitioning the legislature for a fix. The problem with going to the legislature on what I think is a pretty simple issue and one that is limited to one Sheriff in the state is that once it becomes a legislative issue you really have no control in what might come out of the legislative process. In other words, in seeking a legislative fix you might wind up with something way worse than what the folks in Tulsa County are facing. This is just the opinion of a former state politician who has seen these "legislative" fixes backfire on the people seeking them. I have also been able to quickly solve simple problems like this one by going the route of seeking an "official opinion" from the AG. The other advantage of going this route is that at the end you will have a clear interpretation of the law that will bind the people enforcing the law. [/QUOTE]
