The coming implementation of Constitutional Carry in Oklahoma has served to emphasize the logical flaws in the arguments of those opposed.
Constitutional Carry is the removal of restrictions on the carry of handguns in most public places. It restores the state of the law to a close approximation of the law as it existed when the Constitution was signed or the Bill of Rights ratified. At that time, no permits were required to carry handguns either concealed or openly.
The restoration of Constitutional Carry is scheduled to go into effect in Oklahoma on 1 November, 2019.
Constitutional Carry has been restored in 14 other states over the last 16 years. Vermont has always had Constitutional Carry. There has not been an increase in homicide or violent crime in the states that have restored Constitutional Carry.
The opponents of Constitutional Carry in Oklahoma filed a lawsuit against the implementation of the law. The lawsuit claims the law violated the Oklahoma Constitutional requirement for each law to address a single subject. Second Amendment supporters have characterized the lawsuit as a "Hail Mary" pass, unlikely to succeed.
The lawsuit includes allegations that Constitutional Carry in Oklahoma would be dangerous.

"Making guns hard to legally own and use does not reduce the homicide rate. It does not reduce the number of guns owned illegally. It creates incentives for illegal gun manufacture and a black market in guns and ammunition."
