Oklahoma Gov. Fallin Signs Open Carry Bill
5/20/2012 2:28:57 PM
So do you think Texas will follow this trend?
"Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has signed an open-carry bill into law, allowing those with concealed handgun permits from the state to openly carry their weapons. Oklahoma will become the 26th state to allow open carrying of handguns. The measure would take effect Nov. 1. "I'm going to be signing that bill," Fallin announced to 1,400 delegates at the Oklahoma Republican State Convention, drawing cheers and applause. "I've been waiting a long time."

Good to hear any pro-gun bill passed.
Hopefully, a bill like this will be passed in Texas shortly in the future.

I doubt it. They are more focused on campus carry. We are also our own worst enemy. I'm all for it. I don't know if I would OC if we had it but the choice would be nice.

'In the future'....
OC is not a priority now until other more important bills are addressed. Besides, if/when most of the states in the Union allow OC, you think Texas would still say "No" to OC ?

Once again, another state is in some way better than ours.
It should be easier to get OC passed now, at least.

Even with OC, there are still variations of the laws. Some states you can OC or CC... but not both.
In other words you can't be walking down the street with your jacket covering your pistol, then for whatever reason flip your jacket to expose your pistol. Other states, you can expose or cover your pistol at will.
So, is that defined in OK?

Be careful what you wish for then. It could be used to cancel out CC and if most establishments or entire cities like Austin then ban OC, saying it's "brandishing weapons", it's back to no carry.

Cities cannot ban carry beyond state law, under state law.

How does this apply to out of State CHL/CCW license holders that OK recognizes? Could I open carry in OK driving through from Texas?

But individual eastablishments can, can't they? Austin and neighboring West Lake banned smoking, West Lake tried to make it illegal to smoke on your own property, on your own front porch.
The current culture that has overrun Austin doesn''t like Texans or it's cowboy image. I would be curious as to how they would not allow OC. It wouldn't be a matter of 'if' rather 'how.'

Through 30.06, a private property owner can ban carry there. Under state law, a city cannot. The bill presented in the last session that would have taken the "concealed" out of our licensed carry law. Had that passed, Austin could not ban open carry.
