Open Carry

**rdc** · #1 (**permalink**) 06-26-2008, 11:07 AM

If you are a supporter of the 2nd Amendment, then you probably know that
the Supreme Court has ruled today that the Constitution protects the right
to bear arms as an "individual" right, rather than a collective right for the
state militia. This is a landmark ruling that hopefully will have a far-reaching
impact. I'd like to take advantage of the visibility the 2nd Amendment is
enjoying right now by requesting your support for a petition I have posted,
modeled entirely after a similar petition for the State of Texas, for legalized
open carry of hand guns in the State of Oklahoma for self defense. Please,
only Oklahoma residents.

So do I, and many of my friends. The point of this thread was to garner
signatures on a petition for legalized unlicensed open carry, as opposed to
licensed concealed carry.

Nice to meet a fellow supporter!

I had not heard that they ruled today. Great to know. As for the concealed carry, I just picked up my 5 year re-up yesterday

If you agree with the petition and sign it, please share with like-minded
friends, family, gun stores, etc. The Texas petition has a huge number
of signatures (I don't how long it has been out there). Sharing the
info is key.

You do realize that this pettition would have to be signed by residents of Oklahoma only to be valid. Having numerous people that are not residents of the state would make the pettition invalid and render it useless.
