A permit on a Right is an Unconstitutional limit on that Right.......Oklahoma just passed a law getting rid of their permit system for carrying a gun...
Any Fee for the exercise of a Right is also unConstitutional.....see the Supreme Court ruling Murdock v Pennsylvania....
Oklahoma becomes 16th state that allows concealed carry without a permit in all or virtually all the state - Crime Prevention Research Center
Oklahoma has become the 16th state that allows people to carry concealed without a permit in all or virtually all the state. There are 15 states where no permit is required and Montana where a permit isn’t required in 99.4% of the state. As of 2018, over 10.21% of the adults in Oklahoma had a concealed handgun permit. Eliminating the permitting requirement should increase the percent of the population that legally carries concealed even further.
Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt signed into law on February 28th and the law will go into effect on November 1st.
House Bill 2597 eliminates the requirement of a concealed carry permit, though Oklahomans can still opt to get a permit if they wish to take advantage of reciprocity agreements with other states.
The current permit fee in Oklahoma is $100 for five years, so this change will definitely make it easier for the poor to carry legally. There will now be 23 states that allow people to carry without a training requirement.
At the same time...keep this in mind......
Over the last 26 years, we went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17.25 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
