Oklahoma could become 44th 'open carry' state
By Stateline Staff
Oklahoma legislators have sent Governor Brad Henry a bill that would make the state the 44th to allow residents with concealed-weapons permits to carry their firearms openly in public. But the Democratic governor hasn’t decided whether he will sign or veto the measure . . .
Open-carry supporters believe that allowing people to carry guns openly actually deters would-be criminals. “This legislation should actually reduce the chance of violence,” state Representative Rex Duncan, the author of the bill, told the World. “A criminal is far less likely to attack once he sees a citizen is armed.”
The open-carry movement has generated plenty of attention in recent months . . .
