That's awesome. Pretty good chances that the governor signs it, or is there doubt?

The governor signed Constitutional carry into law this afternoon. It's the first bill signed by governor Stitt.
Thank you governor Stitt.

Amen!!! Finally!!! Now, we must brace ourselves for the huge increase in gun violence. You know, like it was in the Wild West.

Yeah, been like that up here in Kansass ever since it passed a couple years back...
Not!
I remember driving up to Caney to visit my cousins at Christmas. Had to put my truck in 4wd to made it through all the new rivers of blood. I was just glad my truck is already red.Yeah, been like that up here in Kansass ever since it passed a couple years back...
Not!
Being a Okie I'm glad to see this become law. However I do have concerns about the open carry, especially inside city limits. Personally I think it is dumb to open carry as you become the first target of a shooter but my concern mostly is I think some individuals will open carry for all the wrong reasons. One thing I do wonder about is Texas now recognizes Oklahoma concealed carry permits but will they recognize Constitutional carry.
Probably not anytime soon after what happened last time it was a possibility in the TX legislature.
Absolutely not. When you carry in a state, you are subject to the laws of that state, not your home state.
If you have a permit recognized by TX, you can carry openly in TX as long as the handgun is in a shoulder holster or belt holster.
That’s not necessarily true. Might be for some states. But in Oklahoma, until yesterday, if you were an Arkansas resident you could legally open or concealed carry in Oklahoma without a permit. Oklahoma recognizes any states permit or permitless carry and long as that state reciprocates. But Oklahoma residents still had to have a license to carry. So an Arkansan had more rights in Oklahoma than an Oklahoma citizen.

Way too go Oklahoma!
Now if the gunowners in Nebraska will get organized and change their law we will have the middle of the country locked up from Canada to Mexico.
Once we accomplish that the next step will be establishing check points on our State borders to prevent anti-2A's from the East and West coast from immigrating here.

Now there’s a man with good ideas!
The 26th amendment doesn't establish anyone as a adult...it simply and plainly establishes a 18 year old the right to vote...nothing else. The difference in the learning gap from 18 to 21 is the reason most states have a drinking age set at 21. That three year learning curve into adulthood is substantial.
At present Texas recognizes Oklahoma's concealed carry permits. My question was if they would now recognize Oklahoma's constitutional carry rights. I assume they will if the presently recognize Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas since they are also constitutional carry. Oklahoma recognize those three states and they can carry concealed here without a permit. I think the smart thing for Okies to do is get a permit if they plan on traveling outside the state even though a permit is not required within the state..
Funny thing about Texas is anyone can car a loaded handgun in their vehicle but you better not exit that vehicle with that gun unless you have a permit. I think Colorado has a similar law called the travelers right or something like that.

If you like it like that, go ahead and get the 26th repealed and make the voting age 21. There's nothing Constitutional about a 21-year-old drinking limit, and there's nothing Constitutional about Oklahoma's carry law. The Constitution doesn't establish a drinking age, and many states, as many as 29 States, had it at 18 until 23 U.S.C. § 158 in 1984. Their justification was expressly, the 26th. I don't see some crisis going on in Vermont or South Dakota because they allow 18-year-olds to put a jacket over their holster. Meanwhile, in Oklahoma, wearing a jacket over a holster is considered as requiring too much maturity for 18-year-olds, and they must open-carry instead. Very lame, and an un-Constitutional infringement.
No disrespect intended but you're posting incorrect information. Pull up the Oklahoma bill and read it before making such comments that are not correct. An 18 year old cannot carry open or concealed and never could. The Constitution also gives states the right to make their own laws not specifically given to the Federal government. Too often people throw out the UN-Constitutional phrase every time they disagree with something. Are you a resident of Oklahoma? No argument wanted or intended here but it is our law and we like it.
I guess the bottom line is we will have to agree to disagree. You have a good day and good shooting...

Wow, if that's true, it's VERY unusual. I can tell you for certain that in TX, and every other state I've researched, you are restricted to the laws of the state you are in, your home state's laws are essentially moot.
You absolutely can not legally carry a handgun in TX without a permit, openly or concealed, except in very limited circumstances. It makes absolutely no difference what state you live in or what permits you have. When you are in TX (as in most states I am aware of with the possible exception of OK) you are bound by TX laws, the laws of other states and the restrictions or allowances of other states' permits are irrelevant.
NO, they absolutely will not.
It may be true that SOME states (none that I am aware of with the possible exception of OK) will allow a permit holder from another state more leeway than their own permit holders, but it is NOT TRUE in TX.
When you carry in TX, you MUST follow TX carry laws, regardless of what permits you hold. The laws of TX apply in TX. Period.
We were set to pass permitless open carry a few years back and a pack of drooling idiots who thought they were helping basically screwed things up for everyone. I think it will be quite a long time before we have another chance at it after everything that happened.

I'm curious: How often do you notice open carry? I live in Oklahoma and work in Oklahoma City, but I've only seen open carry three times in the years it has been "allowed."
