Fallin vetoes another gun bill?

[CHenry]

So are they going to try and override Marys veto?

Nobody has heard anything back yet. We've made calls, sent e-mails, all I've gotten was "I'll let the senator know, thanks for calling." I'm following up with more phone calls tomorrow.

AFAIK it is still in the Senate... my Rep says they haven't heard anything yet. It has to be overridden in the Senate before it can be sent to the House. Not sure if/when they will call for a vote to override in the Senate - my Senator has not replied to my email.

That was the basis of my question in the beginning. Is a city street defined as a recreation area? I don't think so. To flatly declare that this law, as written, protects all public areas doesn't make sense because the law clearly only points to the existing exemption for parks, fairgrounds, and recreation areas.

Like I said before though, if all it did was clear up the long standing confusion over things like the State Fair, it's still a good thing....as long as we don't create more ambiguity in the process.

I see what you are saying about the specific wording but I think it is clear. Or at least common sense should dictate what is intended. If an area like a public street is not restricted then a vendor at a festival cannot setup shop for a day or two making it a restricted area. (i.e. Octoberfest in Tulsa that conducts searches to enter the festival)

Calling Fry and Bingman's offices again today. I'm starting to think maybe we should have an impromptu gathering on the capitol steps before the session is over.

Well, you know what they say about common sense...so uncommon it should be considered a f-ing superpower.

Replacing ambiguity with more ambiguity isn't optimal. Still hoping for an override though...

Well, I haven't heard anything back. I've emailed twice, called twice.... Fallin was on Flashpoint yesterday and the issue wasn't even brought up. Seems everybody just wants it to go away.
