Oklahoma House Committee Passes Bill to End Concealed Permit Requirement

Breitbart: Oklahoma’s House Public Safety Committee passed legislation this week designed to end the concealed carry permit requirement in the state.

71 Republic reported that the legislation, HB 2579, would make Oklahoma the fifteenth permitless carry state. This would mean nearly a third of all states allow guns to be carried openly or concealed for self-defense based on the Second Amendment alone.

On May 12, 2018, Breitbart News reported that similar legislation passed the Oklahoma House on April 25, 2018, by a vote of 59-28. It passed the Senate on May 2, 2018, by a vote of  33 to 9. But then-Gov. Mary Fallin (R) vetoed it.

The Herald-Dispatch reported, however, that Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) “has said he will sign it.”  more here

  1. Never understood why you need
    a ‘permit’ to exercise your 2nd.
    Get caught with just 1 bullet in your
    car in New Jersey with no gun and see
    what happens…

  2. TIME TO CONSOLIDATE AND SECEDE

    As you can see, states and their people, have VASTLY different ideas on how they want to live their lives. California is a sanctuary state, and Oklahoma is an open 2nd Amendment state. You can’t consolidate those ideas together, they are separate.

    Take my advice, legally separate before a messy divorce.

  3. Carrying a handgun, even in your vehicle on the way to a range, was completely illegal in Oklahoma just a few decades ago. (long guns were just fine) They even had a State legislator arrested and prosecuted for it because he had an unloaded one locked in his trunk after having used it for practice on a range.

    They’ve come a long way in the last few decades, glad to see it.

  4. …hmm, 15 states, no outbreaks of gun violence in them, and actually have better crime statistics than the rabidly anti-gun states do.

    …almost makes you think there’s some reason OTHER than safety that they want the Red State’s guns, doesn’t it…🤔

  5. “TIME TO CONSOLIDATE AND SECEDE”

    Remember the Berlin Wall?
    Hungary – 1956?
    Czechoslovakia – 1968?
    Tibet – 1950?

    Freedom and Liberty are anathematic to socialism.
    They cannot be allowed – not even is distant parts.

    izlamo delenda est …

  6. Gook for you OK. South Dakota passed this into law 3 weeks ago. For once we’re ahead of the curve.

    The only reason to pay for a ccw was to increase revenue and to track citizens. What other reason could there possibly be?

  7. This year Tennessee decided to short-circuit the “kill Constitutional Carry in Committee” by not even having a bill submitted for consideration “because the Governor won’t sign it”.
    “Republican Supermajority” my ass…
