Oklahoma Senate passes permit-less carry bill

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma Senate members passed a bill allowing for permit-less carry.

Senate Bill 1212, also referred to as the “Constitutional Carry” bill, was presented by Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow. It passed the Oklahoma Senate on Wednesday night by a vote of 33 to 9. If ultimately signed into law, it would allow for open carry without a permit.

On the Senate floor Wednesday night, Sen. Dahm said 12 states have already passed similar legislation; however, the measure was not met without criticism.

Sen. Kay Floyd, D-Oklahoma, who voted against the measure, said it wasn’t properly vetted.

The bill passed the Oklahoma House of Representatives last week in spite of much debate on the floor.

Hope this bunch moves to MD and takes over. These gun grabbers would outlaw water guns if they could get away with it. Yes Hogan I'm talking to you! You'll pass bills to pay for dope heads getting narcan but won't let someone who never had a speeding ticket ensure they can protect themselves in this state.

I am not anti-gun by any means, but permitless carry just doesn't sound right to me. There's nothing wrong with requiring a permit that also goes with a minimum of safety training and education.

Of course, you are, your statement confirms it regardless of your attempt to deny it.

BTW, back in the day, there WAS education and training for firearms in public schools no less. Fathers taking their kid's hunting was also a means of education and training.

The constitutional 2nd amendment is very clear, and so far 12 states have recognized that fact and have passed laws or in the process of passing laws that do not require any permit for open or concealed carry.

There are dark reasons for the implementation of restrictions on firearms. Most are under the misguided belief they can restrict firearms and thereby reduce crime and prevent certain persons and groups of persons from possessing firearms, which we all know has not been successful.

And, even more worrisome, is that there are some people who willfully and gleefully give up their firearms and their rights to firearms, refusing to believe their government would take advantage of that and use it against them. Naive and ignorant to say the least.

We were originally intended to possess the same weaponry as our government, military, and police agencies.

Which will be the very same entities that will one day overpower and enslave us, as they have superior firepower, which was never intended and our ancestors fought against to ensure our freedom.

Remember that quote, we must hang together or we will most assuredly hang separately.
