Citty addressed the media Friday, raising big concerns for law enforcement and Oklahomans once the permitless carry law goes into effect Nov. 1.
House Bill 2597 was signed into law Wednesday, allowing law-abiding citizens to carry a gun without a permit or training.
"You'll have more people carrying guns, you'll have more guns accessible. Studies have already shown, legitimate studies now, show the more guns you have and the easier it is to get guns, the more deaths you're going to have. Either from homicides, accidental shootings, suicides. It's bound to increase at a time when our aggravated assaults are already higher than they have been in a while," said Citty. |

| The days of charging a fee to exercise Constitutional Rights of law abiding citizens are apparently over there. |

As usual, this political appointee ignores the fact that the people most likely to shoot police officers (or anyone else, for that matter) carry guns regardless of the law.
It is those who do obey laws that benefit, and by definition, they are not people the chief needs to be concerned with.

I believe history shows that the more government guns they have and the harder it is for us to get guns, the more deaths they will cause.

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
