A Pleasant Change for Law Abiding Gun Owners

In a day and time when law abiding gun owners are having their rights threatened from all sides comes a breath of fresh air from an OKC business.

Casa De Los Milagros located at 5111 N Classen Blvd in OKC has this sign on their front door.

Cudos to the owners for stating what should be assumed. Unfortunately, it is not the norm and many businesses try to take away our constitutional right to bear arms.

The restaurant, which began as Laredo’s Mexican Restaurant, actually has a pretty interesting background read about it on NewsOK here. I just had lunch there and the food is pretty good as well as being a 2nd Amendment supporter.

The Self Defense Act of Oklahoma (SDA) defines certain places as off-limits to concealed carry of a firearm (O.S. Title 21 Section 1277). Some of those places are; schools, sports arenas, places where pari-mutual wagering is engaged, government office buildings, and a few others. The SDA does, however, have a provision that allows a private business owner to prohibit the legal concealed carry of a firearm on their premises if they so choose.

Some, including myself, do not believe that this prohibition by a private business owner carries a criminal punishment if violated. If a business owner discovers that you are legally carrying a concealed weapon and does not wish you to be there, they can ask you to leave. If you do not leave at their request you could be considered trespassing and possibly guilty of violating other statutes.
