From USA Today:
Texas, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas — are considering legislation that would allow people to carry handguns openly in a holster.
These generally Second Amendment-friendly states are among the last six holdouts against open carrying of guns. Openly carrying handguns is legal in most states, even those that ban concealed firearms. New York and Florida also bar openly carrying handguns.
The four other states that ban so-called open carry “are extremely gun-friendly. They understand the individual-rights aspect. Yet for whatever reason, the carry laws in these states are restrictive,” says John Pierce, a co-founder of OpenCarry.org, which promotes gun rights.
I Lived in arizona for years where we had open carry law and I beleave that all states should have a open carry law. I now live in oklahoma and thinking about moving back to arizona where I have a right to carry a fire arm where it is easy to get to. I have a conceled permit but it is imposible to carry concealed when it is hot. Here in oklahoma like other states crime is out of control. I wish for once the people we elect would consider our rights.You will always have people against gun carring laws and no dout some of these people are the ones that would rob you if they got the chance.OKLAHOMA TAKE OUR RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS SERIOUS.
