Calvey, the OK2A requested bill that would lower the price of the handgun license and would change the procedures for processing those licenses, ran into trouble when OSBI began lobbying against it.  OSBI went beyond advising legislators, warning that the sky would fall if we make it easier for citizens to defend themselves.  Unfortunately, some key legislators, including the House Floor Leader, Representative Ortega, have chosen to stand with those who would restrict our right to self-defense.  He refused to hear HB1936 so we have asked Rep. Calvey to re-file his bill as an amendment to SB56, which is currently awaiting a hearing on the House Floor.Representative Ortega has vowed, once again, to stand against your right to defend yourself.  He has made it clear he will not allow SB56 to the floor if the amendment is filed.  Representative Ortega needs to hear from you.  We need you to call or email both Floor Leader Ortega and Speaker Hickman and request that they allow the SB56 and Rep. Calvey's SDA Amendment to be heard.  Please be polite, but firm.  If they ask you if you live in their district, politely remind them that as legislative leaders, their decisions effect every Oklahoman so it should make no difference where you live.Representative Ortega: (405) 557-7369 or <a href="mailto:charles.ortega@okhouse.gov">charles.ortega@okhouse.gov</a>Speaker Hickman: (405) 557-7339 or <a href="mailto:jwhickman@okhouse.gov">jwhickman@okhouse.gov</a></blockquote>
