That's why I was extremely frustrated when oklahoma enacted an "open carry law".. If you go and take a class and get a permit it is "legal" for you to "open carry" a gun in a holster. The IDIOT conservatives in our legislatures thought this was a good thing. I can't understand why we needed a law 'permitting' us to do something that was our legal / constitutional right anyway. Now if I want to carry a gun legally, I have to get on some kind of list that can then be used by whatever group is in charge..

No surprise. This is one of the problems I had with getting a permit. Someone has the list and at some point it will be used against those on it. All for a basic natural right of protecting one's life & property. One of the reasons the founders created the 2nd amendment.
