After hearing arguments from both sides of the controversial topic, a judge in Oklahoma County on Wednesday denied a request asking for an injunction on Oklahoma's permitless carry law.The law will allow people to carry a gun without a permit or any training. Rep. Jason Lowe filed a lawsuit regarding the law, saying the bill is unconstitutional because it violates a rule that laws have to be about one topic. The judge determined that the law is constitutional and does not violate the single-subject rule. With the request for an injunction being denied, Oklahoma's permitless carry law will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday, Nov. 1.During the summer, Lowe and other activists ran a signature campaign but didn't gather enough signatures by the deadline.>> Permitless Carry: Click here to see what the law does and doesn't doGov.

My office is proud to defend the constitutional carry law against a political attack by plaintiffs who were unable to succeed at the legislature, unable to persuade voters in the referendum process and now seeking to overturn a duly enacted law with meritless claims and scare tactics."
