I don't know what you are talking about.
In the states where I have lived that "allow" open carry, the WHOLE idea is that under the Second Amendment we are allowed to keep and BEAR arms with no interference, other than the demands of private property owners, of course.
Montana and Idaho, for instance, restrict concealed carry weapons to permit holders only. Open carry is...OPEN CARRY. The state has affirmed that the Second Amendment empowers me to walk around bearing my firearm.
A quick check on Missouri statutes suggests the same situation there.
When I see comments like yours, blithely accepting that we are supposed to carry an ID in order to walk the streets, or a "permit" of some sort to keep and bear arms, I realize how far down the slope of statism even self-identified conservatives have slipped.

I believe they were from Oklahoma, and in order to legally “open carry” in Oklahoma, you must have a “concealed carry” permit. Thus, you must have that and you will be ID-ed.
If you “open carry” in another state under laws that allow you to do it from another state (like Oklahoma) you better have that permit, or else you’re breaking the law!!
It may be permissable out in the wooded counties but not in the cities and municipalities.
What you don’t seem to understand is that’s the LAW for those who open carry from Oklahoma. You HAVE TO HAVE a concealed carry permit in order to open carry. That’s the law.
