Comment on Packing heat in Oklahoma by eastrider62

Sorry stdavis, but you contradict yourself. The basic right to defend one’s self is not negotiable. It is optional though. That’s why it was put into our Constitution as a “right”; not a “privilege”. This law IS less government, not “meddling” as you so un-eloquently put it.
This is anything but a backwards law. You or anybody else are not required to exercise your rights but to disallow others to exercise theirs is a travesty beyond comprehension for any sane and clear thinking citizen.
The facts stand for themselves in regard to open and/or concealed carry in any state in which it is allowed. Crime rates, especially violent crimes against individuals, have either dropped considerably or ceased to increase where the rights of the people to defend themselves have not been restricted by feel-good laws that do nothing more than embolden the criminal element.
Again, you are not required to exercise your rights. You are not required to defend yourself in response to a crime committed against you or your family. Nor are you required to do your own research based on cold hard facts as opposed to Liberal rhetoric in regards to guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens. If that is your comfort zone then so be it.
And to suggest that companies won’t settle in Oklahoma due to a gun law is ludicrous.
My opinions are based on facts. I can only guess what yours are based on.
I for one and darn proud of this state. It is my home and God willing it will be for the rest of my life. I am however embarrassed for some of my fellow citizens.

Andy, you are correct in your assessment of this crazy law. And yes once again Oklahoma makes the national news only to show our backwards ways. The previous poster has the right to their opinion but this kind of backwards thinking is why even with our low cost of living and national recognition we cannot get new LARGE companies to even think of locating here. Guns, anti-choice legislation and other meddling in the lives of Oklahoma citizens seems contrary to what “less gov’t” should be about. Faced with other huge problems our elected officials spend their time with this sort of nonsense. I’ve lived here all my life and don’t plan on leaving now but I am embarrassed for our state.

The Wild West all over again? Hardly. It would really be refreshing, especially for someone in a position such as yours, to see that you wrote something based on facts and statistics. But, that would defy the Liberal rule of law; if ya can’t state facts just scare ‘em with misinformation.

“Oklahoma has already let the world know we’re anti-immigrant and anti-woman. Now, we’re going to send the signal to tourists, potential employers and others that frontier justice is alive and well here.”
This is total BS.

“When some of the same lawmakers were pushing the bill allowing permit owners and ex-military folks to carry concealed weapons in the classroom, the argument was that a deranged student wouldn’t start shooting because someone in the classroom may be armed. Now, the argument is the shooter will know immediately if someone is armed and won’t act. Which is it?”
I’ll take BOTH ARE CORRECT for a thousand Alex.

And comparing open carry to open containers? That one is just too ignorant to respond to.

BTW, if your kids cry at the sight of a gun it doesn’t say a thing about gun ownership. It speaks volumes about bad parenting. Might wanna toughen those little buggers up some.
