I am very happy you guys in OK will finally be able to OC, and I think the your organization is taking the proper approach being proactive with local LE...but one thing bugs me (well, more than one, one especially)
"duty to inform" When you talk to the LE community, maybe you might bring up the 5th ammendment to the US constitution (and whatever equilivant OK has in their constitution)
If a person who would be doing something illegal is asked by LE if they are armed...they do not need to answer that question...that would be self incrimination, they would be protected by the 5th (actually went through the court's on OH, another "must inform" state)...but if you are not doing anything illegal, you have to tell LE you are armed?
What does LE gain execpt a "Gotya" that they cannot enforce if someone wants to push back. It serves no good purpose, and could (has) cause(d) harm. (Another thread on this forum, happened to a guy from TX, Remember?)
