Hello to all! I am new to the carrying of a firearm,be it concealed or open. I received my license on 11-14 13. I applied on 10-15-13. I was prepared for a 60 to 90 day wait,but to my surprise it was only 30 days. I have decided from day one to carry openly. I have so far been in walmart,oreillys auto,and taco bueno. I have to say that at first it made me feel a little self conscious. Walmart was ok. It appeared that everyone is busy looking and shopping that they really don't notice. Taco bueno was different. Nobody said anything to me,but I did notice some looks and glances to my firearm. It doesn't appear tho, that very many people open carry. Since it was legal to do so a little over a year ago,I have only seen two people doing it.Hope to see more!

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I live in Tulsa and have open carried ever since the law came into effect as well. Not too many do though. I just keep on carrying.

Welcome to open carrying
I have been open carrying since the law took effect as others here have and I am happy to say that I have only had positive responses so far. I wish that more people would open carry so that the public at large could become accustomed to seeing properly holstered weapons and feel comfortable around them. If the public saw openly carried weapons everyday, it would seem normal to them and make it even harder for politicians to pass laws that take away our rights and put the public at further risk. I live in Skiatook and work in Tulsa. I carry absolutely everywhere I go. With the exception of my office building where I work (where it's not allowed), I put my gun on when I wake up and only take it off when I go to bed or shower. Keep on being a good citizen and thank you to everybody who carries...openly or not (but especially those who carry openly).
