TULSA, Oklahoma -

A handful of bills under consideration in the state legislature involve carrying a gun in plain sight. One that easily passed a house committee this week would require a holster and a license to openly carry.

Oklahoma is one of seven states that does not have some sort of open carry law. 'Have gun, will openly carry' could soon be a new motto in Oklahoma.

"I don't really have a problem with it. I think it's a constitutional right, protected by the second amendment," said Tulsa resident David Parker.

That's the idea behind House Bill 2522. It would allow anyone with a concealed gun license to openly carry their weapons in a holster.

However, guns would still be banned from schools, courthouses, government buildings, professional sporting events and businesses that have a published policy.

nice, the only reason to have a cc permit before is to keep a loaded gun in your vehicle legally.
with the current concealed carry law, if anybody saw your concealed weapon and called the sheriff you lost your permit basically.

Law enforcement in states with open carry have gone on record as having an "unofficial" stance of doing everything in their power to convince you to NOT open carry, despite it being legal... it may not be all you think it is. However, yes, it does make the whole "if you print, you lose your license to carry" deal go away - which is actually the point of it imo.

weird, our state you're able to open carry without anything special.

actually there are groups that meet up at starbucks that open carry, trying to desensitize the public from seeing guns etc.

This is the biggest reason I support open carry. I understand not wanting people flashing their weapon as a threat, but it's idiotic that you become a criminal if your shirt happens to lift a little too high when you bend over to grab something...

I would rather see people who are carrying guns so I can better judge my surroundings.
