I've just started OCing and not looking forward to not being able to when I go back home to Oklahoma. (stationed in AZ).
On OCDO's frontpage Oklahoma is listed as a non-permisive state (which I agree it is). I've been looking over OK's statutes and found something:
Now my personal opinion (and I'm sure others on this forum) is that myself and family's personal protection is a legitimate purpose. I really don't have much experience with this sort of thing and was wondering if anyone that does thinks it would be worth contacting my Rep and trying to get an AG opinion on this. Do I think if I he would even issue an opinion he would agree with me? Not really. But as it is it's not like OC is accepted at all in the state and it would hurt any. Either he say's no and I haven't lost a thing accept some time or he say's it legitimate and OK move's to either licensed or anomalous status.
