The number of illegally used or owned guns taken off the streets in Oklahoma’s two most populous cities continues to increase. Police say they are watching to see of the new permitless-carry law will result in higher gun seizures. The number of illegally used or owned guns taken off the streets in Oklahoma’s two most populous cities continues to be on the rise. Data from the Oklahoma City and Tulsa police departments show gun seizures are up in both cities as officials say a mix of added crime-fighting enforcement measures and the ever-growing number of guns, owned legally or illegally by Oklahomans, is contributing to the increase.

"Adair said it’s possible the new law, which allows Oklahomans over 21 to carry a gun without a permit, could embolden those who are barred from legally owning any gun, such as most ex-felons, to flaunt Oklahoma’s gun restrictions."
There is no evidence to back such a prognostication, and it even flies in the face of simple logic.
"Most ex-felons" who are inclined to carry a gun are doing so already, and the new law will change nothing in that regard. Legalizing law-abiding citizens carrying without a permit cannot affect those who are already carrying illegally, prima facie.
Honestly, the way these people think is befuddling. |

TO REMEMBER |
| In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all — security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again. — EDWARD GIBBON [On ancient Athens] |
