Just don't forget to leave that ideology that ruined that state there lol
Unfortunately, that rarely happens. And look what is happening to once wonderful Texas now. Used to be a red state, solid Republican. It is now a purple state due to so many people fleeing CA and bringing their bad ideas with them. It's said that by 2024 Texas will be a solidly blue state.
I fled CA for OK in 2002. But I am a lifelong Republican, so I didn't bring any bad ideas with me, just moved to a state that matches my outlook on things. For the most part, for whatever reason, Oklahoma is viewed negatively. Maybe it's the weather, which frankly doesn't bother me the slightest. We have actual seasons here. Hot in the summer, warm in the spring and fall, cold in the winter. Such is life. All my vehicles love the winter time. especially the Lightning. Good boost weather. LOL!! It can be humid here. It just depends on which way the wind is blowing, for real. From the south, humid due to it being Gulf air. From the north, dry and cool. Anytime the wind is blowing from the north, they call it a cold front here. From the south, hot and muggy. It was 102 yesterday and humid, dew point of 71. The higher the dew point, the muggier it gets. It's just part of living here. You get used to it.
Just remember in Oklahoma, you can tint your vehicles windows, even the windshield. My Mustang has a tinted windshield. You won't get harassed for having no reflectors on your vehicles, none of mine do. You won't get harassed for no front license plate, they don't even give you one here. I run tinted licnese plate covers on all my vehicles, not harassed once. No smog or safety inspections. It does result in some vehicles on the road that shouldn't be there. Missing bumpers, missing lights, missing fenders, badly cracked windshields, etc. But that's to be expected in a state where anything goes. You should see some of the custom cars rolling around here, rat rods they're called. I can't even begin to imagine them on CA streets. Dual quads, 6-71 blowers, open straight zoomy pipes, no mufflers, etc. My Ranger has no muffler, it's loud. Not been stopped for it once.
Constitutional Carry state, no permit required and the gun doesn't have to be registered. I have one unregistered 1911, my Dad bought it years ago when registration wasn't required. He gave it to me some years ago. Colt Combat Commander in .45 ACP. Can carry open or concealed. Can carry as many guns on your person as you can fit on you. I typically carry a 1911 on my right hip and a .32 ACP on my right ankle.
I carry matching but opposing Spyderco Military knives on me daily. There is no length law in affect here.
I consider OK to be a leave me the fack alone state. I've not been harassed by anyone for any reason in the 18 years I've lived here. Strangers wave at you. That's nice.
I have two motorcycles. Both heavily modified. Loud exhaust. intake and heavily trimmed license plates. Don't even have plate lights on either, never been stopped on them. Sneak peak at my Lightning in the garage next door.
