SafetoCarry and OK2A Announce Alliance

TULSA, Okla. - Nov. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- SafeToCarry and OK2A are pleased to announce the formation of an alliance between the two organizations.  This partnership brings resources from SafeToCarry to OK2A and increases awareness of the services offered by both organizations.  There are many benefits to this alliance for businesses, individuals, and the community as a whole.

Benefits to OK2A include recognition of corporate sponsors as OK2A Gold Star members in the SafeToCarry app and a free door sign indicating the business's status as both a "SafeToCarry" location and OK2A Gold Star sponsor.  OK2A members will be able to search, submit locations as “SafeToCarry” (okay to legally carry a firearm, whether open or concealed), and submit locations that do not allow firearms, through the OK2A website.  Perhaps most importantly, OK2A members will be able to easily identify OK2A Gold Star locations and when they have a choice, spend their money with these corporate sponsors. Look for more information to be available from OK2A about corporate sponsorships in the near future.

For SafeToCarry, the alliance provides a mechanism to recognize pro-second amendment businesses via an outside organization.  This recognition will be integrated into the app via a new feature to "badge" the location with the OK2A Gold Star designation.  The alliance also provides a mechanism for app users to quickly access information about Oklahoma gun laws and Frequently Asked Questions about legal carry.  This information could be very useful to have in many situations where rapid access is key to protecting one's rights. The end result is that SafeToCarry becomes an important tool for every citizen interested in legal carry.

About OK2A

OK2A was founded in 2009 because of a lack of consistent voice for the people at the State Capitol for issues such as open carry, nullification, etc.   OK2A has stood strong on behalf of the average Oklahoman and in three short years achieved what had been so elusive, the passage of the open carry law in 2012.  OK2A was the primary group behind it, working to negotiate behind the scenes to ensure its passage.  In total, OK2A has helped usher almost 30 different measures through the process in just three years, while stopping 5 bad bills from becoming law.  OK2A pledges to continue to push for greater liberty for gun owners in Oklahoma and to stand in the gap to protect the gun rights of every Oklahoman against the federal government's attempts to infringe on our rights.
