Ok......

1) I posted the statute as written and *did not* place an "ad hoc
interpretation". If anybody is doing that it is you. Have you already
forgotten the post you made earlier today where  *you* interpreted "intent"
of the law.  Practice what you preach.

2) How can quoting the laws in question without interpretation "enflame
people's emotions"?

Yes, the officers should be given a chance to "do their jobs" but that
doesn't mean that all conversation should be ceased and swept under the rug.
In my "ad hoc" opinion, that is exactly what has been the bane of the North.

Since there seems to be some confusion about churches and other
organizations have raffles or whatever, I have made the entire Oklahoma
Charity Games Act available, again without interpretation. I have uploaded
to my server so that the accusation of "flooding the list" cannot be made.
