Now, I'm just hangar-flying here and at this moment not thinking about going shopping at WalMart with a .45 strapped to my side, but what if someone decided to test open carry in Oklahoma?
What various 'crimes' could a test subject be charged with and convicted for, should he decide to test the system? Would the test subject's Second Amendment rights to own a firearm likely be lost forever, or would the charges and conviction more likely be a misdemeanor and not disqualifying? I don't currently have a state-issued permission slip to exercise my "inalienable" Second Amendment to carry concealed, but if someone like me decided to test if open carry is already be allowed but un-exercised, how likely would it be that I would lose my right to expect a 'pass' from OSBI for a CCL?
About the more fun parts of an open carry test scenario, if you were going to test open carry, how would you do it? Would you do it as an organized group, or as a lone wolf? Would you go to the store, take an evening stroll in your neighborhood, or something else? Would you call in on yourself, or wait for someone to call in on you? I think I would have a lawyer well aware of where and when I was going to attempt open carry. What would be the most fun, if you decided to try an open carry with the intent of testing the law?
Disclaimer: I'm not saying I would do this, nor am I suggesting anyone else try it....this is strictly arm-chair quarter backing.
