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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
