Zuzu (OP) User ID: 29347307 United States 04/26/2018 08:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quote: "Other critics say constitutional carry would put law enforcement at risk, but the bill's author says that shouldn't be put above a citizen's right." "I do not support the rights of law enforcement to feel not threatened or safe to the detriment of my own constitutional rights," said Rep. Jeff Coody, the bill's author. [link to kfor.com] What is interesting is that most law enforcement seem to support the measure. Cops around here understand that more firearms legally in the hands of upright citizens means less bodies of innocent people end up in the morgue.

It’s a privilege,” Coody said, “But the right to self-defense, the right to carry keep and bear arms is a constitutional right.” [link to www.news9.com] Proud to share the basket with you. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24388207 United States 04/26/2018 08:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As a resident of Oklahoma I have to say that I fully support this bill! Quoting: Zuzu The process to attain a permit at the moment is a tad silly. I suspect that it is more about the money made than being sure that those carrying are qualified. There is very little on gun safety during class or range testing which is what most new shooters really needed. There is some information on legalities but most should be common sense. What's more, none of the steps in the process would have weeded out a potential criminal who did not have previous convictions on a variety of crimes, a background check at the time of firearm purchase is far more inclusive. It's time that bills of this nature are passed nationwide to allow law abiding, responsible citizens to defend themselves and loved ones from those that would do harm! Senate Bill 1212 would allow anyone who owns a gun to carry it without a permit. Quotes under 50%: "We ought to be able to carry any gun whether we are licensed or not.' Doesn't the Supreme Court contradict that 'cause it's not actually a right?" said Rep. Collin Walke. Supporters say better efforts are need to screen potential gun buyers, but that shouldn't punish current gun owners. "Would it surprise you that the majority that have committed heinous crimes either have mental health conditions or the background checks have not been followed up? We're failing on that end. We need to concentrate on that end and not hinder our law-abiding citizens," said Rep. Justin Humphreys. snip "It will allow people in Oklahoma to have a gun to protect themselves without putting themselves in jeopardy and without going through the entire permit process and paying close to $300," Mike said. Edit _____________________________________________________ I think that this quote here explains why some don't want this bill and it has nothing to do with the safety of citizens. “The Oklahoma State Bureau of investigation gets a great deal of money from the permitting process,” Coody replied, “So they simply are concerned about revenue over the freedom of law abiding citizens.” [link to www.news9.com] Edit _______________________________________________________ Here is the bill itself for those interested.

[link to www.oklegislature.gov] You needed a permit to constitutional carry? LOL At this time (legally) we need a permit to carry either concealed or openly. Obviously this is not constitutional but with this bill our constitutional rights that have been infringed upon will be legally reinstated. The fact that there is a need to reinstate them is unconstitutional to begin with. Those rights should never have been tampered with. edit: Boy, that was a serious overuse of the word constitution!

His grandparents lived down the street from me. He has always been very sharp. I'm proud of how well he handled this and also the teacher walkout. He's awesome! Goodbye, halcyon days... There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

Epic Beard Guy User ID: 74837933 United States 04/26/2018 09:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | States should not need a law to say citizens can exercise their Constitutional rights! That unfortunately is not how it works today, so I pray for the people of Oklahoma. Every state needs to affirm their citizens right to keep and bear arms. Contrary to what the liberal media says, Constitutional carry reduces crime dramatically. Criminals prefer unarmed victims. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74005628 United States 04/26/2018 09:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We passed Constitutional Carry a couple years back in Maine. And kept our right to buy firearms from our neighbor as long as we are over 21, a resident of Maine, and and have not committed a felony. It has worked out great for the state and its people. Hope all states pass this law and we have reciprocity bill to back it too. |

Epic Beard Guy User ID: 74837933 United States 04/26/2018 10:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Constitutional carry is the right to carry, concealed or open. We have had our Constitutional right to carry in Wyoming for several years. We can carry concealed without a permit, with few restrictions. Having a permit lets you carry a few places that are not allowed without it. The only good reason to have a Wyoming carry permit is the reciprocity with other states. With a permit, you can also carry in all the red states, and some of the blue states. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74005628 So by calling it "Constitutional" carry and them having to pass a law to make it so, are they admitting that the Constitution is null and void? |
