But seriously, there has to be an actual reason, whether it's sensical or not. Too much drinking on the 4th? The 4th is a religious holiday? Jesus loves 'merica?

I'm not sure it matters a whole lot this year, most of the celebration will be on the preceding weekend.

Oklahoma closes liquor stores on every federal holiday and during elections.

[tator]

Progress as promised!!



It is illegal in the state of Oklahoma to sell packaged liquor for consumption "off-premises" on Sundays and holidays: Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. In addition, liquor stores can only be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and even low-point beer can not be sold at grocery stores or convenience stores between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.

As of 2007, liquor stores can now be open on election days.


Also, the all-knowing interweb machine said that the law is from prohibition days.

[sooner_born_1960]

Now that everyone knows about it, you've got four days to buy your booze.

I'm not sure why folks complain about liquor stores being closed on holidays and Sundays. Who cares...plan ahead. If you can't plan ahead it's probably because you are too drunk and you don't need liquor that day.

The real problem is why are BBQ places not open on Sundays. Sunday is a great day for BBQ.

i applaud those with the skillful planning of liquor purchasing and adaptibility to these wonderful, well thought out laws. it's a very good answer to why they exist. these laws are just a small example of many well thought out laws and legislation that have put oklahoma at the top of the list of many categories. onward we march. i will begin my planning now.

But that's the whole point of the sign, JK. Our nation's founders didn't "adapt and overcome" when England was trying to impose unfair taxes on them. They finally said "eff this bulls**t" and went to war. Sure we can plan ahead* and work around stupid, pointless laws... but we shouldn't have to do so.

*please note I will not be drinking anything other than lemonade on Independence Day this year. :D

1) I wore my seat belt before there was ever a law telling me I had to.

2) Requiring seat belts is hardly stupid and pointless in the face of overwhelming evidence that seat belts save lives in the event of a crash.

3) Driving on a public roadway is not a fundamental right.

The Contitution actually does guarantee as a fundamental right the right for citizens to move about as they please. The US government cannot restrict us from moving about within the country without reason...

Said that to say: it would be an interesting challenge to say that we have the FUNDAMENTAL right to drive on public roads, assuming all other laws are being followed.

There are three truths in life:
Jewish people do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith.
Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store.

The pastor of a poor Baptist church passed away and the congregation went into town to take up a collection for the funeral. "Would you give $5 to bury the Baptist preacher?" "Here's $10," said the atheist, "bury two of them."


Alright, now that that's out of my system we can see those who see no problem with this don't have two words in their vocabulary and those word are 'fun' and 'freedom.'

For a bunch of people who talk about "free market economics" you sure don't have a problem taking millions away from all the liquor store owners who would surely make a nice chunk of change.

Neo-cons, they hate big government, unless it's their big wacky-religious big government.

If that's the case I guess we can shut down all gas stations, Walmarts, and anything else as obviously people will plan ahead of time, buy it Saturday, and no stores will have lost revenue. In fact that's a good idea because then everybody can have the 4th of July off.

Why should they ever have to close. Name one other retail establishment who's hours of operation are dictated by the state.

I don't think the sales of those businesses are as regulated as alcohol or else you probably could. If the majority of businesses closed for the holiday, I would not GAS as long as I knew about it ahead of time and could buy what I needed to buy if I needed to buy it.

A bit of a different direction here (Although I think MR-82 mentioned it). I do not think that any business should be able to require employees to work on Federal Holidays.
