| Tell me about your CCW in Oklahoma. |

Oklahoma's CCW has some nice aspects and some drawbacks.
The positives: 1. Recognized in 34 states. 2. Shall issue state. The negatives: 1. Ridiculously long 90 day processing time. There's a high speed HTF member who's trying to get this time shortened. 2. No caliber larger than .45 for carry. I think .45 does it all, so I'm not concerned, but this does effectively rule out the S&W 500's and other hand cannons. 3. Some states (Nevada) don't recognize Oklahoma's CCW because a background check isn't done at renewal. 4. More expensive compared to some other states. The in-between: 1. Required class  that's so easy a caveman could do it. If you're going to require a class, at least make it comprehensive enough to weed out the few who can't hit the broadside of a barn from the inside and the idiots who think there's a benefit to holding the handgun sideways.

and also being CLEET certified means jack shit.  That's right. Who cares if you have years of experience, hundreds of hours of training, and actually carry a gun for a living. Everyone has to pay the toll to the state troll guarding the bridge to CCW land.
