CCW Permit Benefits in Oklahoma?

[Jeffrey26]

@Michael726

Hello,
I live in Oklahoma and we have constitutional carry statutes that take away the apparent need for a CCW permit. However, people still get CCW permits. Does anyone know the reason?

Thanks

I would think for reciprocity to carry in other states.

Also, is it legal to conceal carry a weapon with one in the chamber in Oklahoma? I am getting a different opinion from everyone I ask. Some think that is the reason for getting the CCW permit. Some say it’s fine and there’s no need for the permit. Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks

I don’t know for sure, but in checking the USCCA gun laws page, nothing is mentioned about it. I honestly would be surprised if carrying with a round chambered was illegal.
