How about pointing out the obvious - if you see someone carrying openly they're not a criminal so you should leave them alone. No criminal would do something to draw attention; they want the element of surprise. That's why they carry concealed (illegally) until they're ready to attack. Only law-abiding citizens carry openly. And you could have done some research & told Oklahomans what most of the rest of the country has already discovered - lawfully armed citizens, carrying openly or concealed, are not problems. Unfortunately, you instead chose to encourage people to make false police reports & waste resources by reporting perfectly legal behaviour. The police should learn to ask questions (what is the person doing that's illegal) so they can weed out the hysterics from the crimes. Hint: if you can see the gun & it's in a holster, that's not a criminal. Even the FBI admits that criminals don't use holsters & don't carry openly. Don't waste police resources on that person.
