Oklahoma governor Mary Fallin, a Republican and NRA member, signed a bill
into law that allows residents of other states to carry concealed weapons
over state lines into Sooner territory.
This new law will benefit residents of states that do not require a
concealed carry permit. Oklahoma legislators have rather politely concluded
that if that's how it works in other states, then Oklahoma's willing to
respect that. Of course, gun owners are still going to need to prove their
residence if they want to benefit from this new law. Concealed carriers will
need to keep their weapon hidden at all times and they will need to carry
ID to confirm that they are a legal resident of a permit-free state.
Overall, this is a somewhat surprising (yet fortunate) turn of events.
Oklahoma residents are required by law to jump through quite a few hoops
before being able to carry a concealed weapon. They need to be at least 21
years old, complete a training course, and pay the permit fee. It's
refreshing to see that state legislators aren't interested in imposing their
laws on out-of-staters, though it's too bad that they didn't go one step
further and do away with concealed carry permits altogether.
But hey, score one for gun rights. We're not about to start complaining.
