That's good to know. It's irrelevant for me, personally (since I have an LTC), but I will make sure all of my non-LTC friends are aware of this. And this could cause an issue for non-LTC Texans who carry in their vehicles and who drive into Oklahoma. They may mistakenly believe they are OK (pun noted) especially if they are aware of the new CC law.cyphertext wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 5:41 amYour info here is incorrect... You must be a resident of OK to carry under the OK CC law.Soccerdad1995 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 2:02 pm
On the other hand, a Texan who is carrying under vehicle carry and drives into OK may not know that they can put the gun in a holster and carry it on their person. But then again, if they don't know that OK has CC and they don't have an LTC, they might not own a holster in the first place. Worst case, they don't do something that they can legally do while visiting OK.

Re: Oklahoma Constitutional Carry
I don't forsee any problems.
Oklahoma residents could always carry in their vehicles while in Texas (assuming they aren't felons, etc). So an Oklahoman who drives across the border won't have an issue unless he / she steps out of their vehicle with a gun. The odds of someone from Oklahoma doing that and just assuming that Texas also has CC is pretty darn small. I have to imagine that people aren't so ignorant to think that different states have different laws, especially since their own law literally JUST changed. Like the rest of us, they should research the local laws when they cross state / national borders. If someone really is dumb enough to think that other state's laws are the same as theirs, right after their own law changed, then they might have a problem. That person will probably have a lot of other problems in life as well.

I'm struggling to see a scenario where this change in law could possibly cause a problem. Now if the law had changed the other way (CC went away), then it might cause problems for visitors who were aware of the old law and didn't know that it had changed.
