We need to focus on state / local.

Oklahoma will become the 25th state to allow the open carrying of handguns.
Gov. Mary Fallin signed into law Tuesday a measure that allows Oklahomans to openly carry handguns.
The measure, Senate Bill 1733, allows those who are licensed to carry a firearm under the Oklahoma Self Defense Act a choice: to openly carry a weapon or conceal it.
Their numbers are wrong. There are actually 43 states that do not prohibit open carry, if we include Oklahoma and do not incude California, which is very restrictive.
