2. Big win for us in Oklahoma.

It's not perfect, but it improves so much on the current state of affairs, I'm thrilled. There's also a provision that says legal open carry cannot be punished as breaching the peace, creating a public disturbance or anything similar.

Law enforcement, of course, is absolutely sobbing over it. Mass confusion. Who's the good guy, who's the bad guy? A state senator and former officer actually said police will arrive on a crime scene and there will be 40 people standing around with guns. They all seem to be implying that Oklahoma cops are dumber than cops in the rest of the country, which, to be fair, I have no reason to doubt.
