Using self-consistent, physically motivated models, we investigate the X-rayobscuration in 19 Type 2 [OIII] 5007 \AA\ selected AGN, 9 of which are localSeyfert 2 galaxies and 10 of which are Type 2 quasar candidates. We derivereliable line-of-sight and global column densities for these objects, which isthe first time this has been reported for an AGN sample; 4 AGN havesignificantly different global and line-of-sight column densities. Five sourcesare heavily obscured to Compton-thick. We comment on interesting sourcesrevealed by our spectral modeling, including a candidate ``naked'' Sy2. Aftercorrecting for absorption, we find that the ratio of the rest-frame, 2-10 keVluminosity (L$_{\rm 2-10keV,in}$) to L$_{\rm [OIII]}$ is 1.54 $\pm$ 0.49 dexwhich is essentially identical to the mean Type 1 AGN value. The Fe K$\alpha$luminosity is significantly correlated with L$_{\rm [OIII]}$, but withsubstantial scatter. Finally, we do not find a trend between L$_{\rm2-10keV,in}$ and global or line-of-sight column density, between column densityand redshift, between column density and scattering fraction or betweenscattering fraction and redshift.
