HB 3354 - Open Carry

[Old Fart]

I believe I just heard a few minutes ago that the override attempt failed.

That was the Firearms Freedom bill.
Different subject all together.
And he may at least think he has a good argument for his veto.
I don't think he believes he has an argument on OC.

Correct, it just went to the response to your comment about Henry.

***I disagree. At least to the sheep his argument against the FFA would be just as effective as any that have been raised against OC. That doesn't make either of them accurate or even sensible, of course.

Also don't forget that the FFA made it to his desk with far more yays (39-3 in the Senate) and still they couldn't override his veto. My point is only that his signature isn't a sure thing and we're really not out of the woods yet. As you stated previously we should all be sending well-crafted and respectful emails to him.

+1...he is a Democrat, and not a overly conservative one. Think a Dem gov wants to be "the guy" who allowed people to openly carry firearms? I'll actually be surprised if he signs it.

If the override is a lock I'll be surprised if he signs it. He can go on record with his Big Daddy O and the Wicked Witch of the West Pelosi as vetoing it, but the evil republican controlled congress forced this horrible bill on its subjects.

I agree wholeheartedly.
People really should be crashing his phone lines and email encouraging him to sign it.

As of yesterday ( 5.5.2010) the bill was on his desk, per his office, he had 5 days to make a decision.

So now he has 4 days left.

I'm kind of leaning towards the no action option.
Let it sit there for 5 days and it becomes law without his signature.

Well I agree training and teaching about firearms is a must.... So since this is a right and not a privilege.... and you are correct the average person does not have the exposure to firearms...

I propose gun safety class should be taught at all high schools.... as requirement to graduate.... they do not have to have to get extremely in depth just a class to recognize the dangers and reality of firearms....

class course that could build on the teaching and training of say the Eddie Eagle NRA program, that they should have as younger kids as part of the curriculum....

I say bring back high school shooting teams....
people have be conditioned to fear firearms and not to have fun and challenge
themselves and others responsibly.....

This to me would be a better use of my property taxes than the local high school football team or to support the retirement of another superintendent.... Maybe the young adults will learn a valuable lesson and maybe discover a right that they did not know they had....

It took a lot of work but we got archery back in schools again.... over 225 school in Oklahoma are participating now.... and more every year....

Many of the young kids involved in the school archery programs actively seek out other shooting sports....

I can dream of the day when I get to go and cheer for my local school shooting team....

My daughter is 8yrs old so maybe it will be there for her high school career....

Hear hear.
Firearm training in Schools in OK should be mandatory.
With schools protected from legal action if there is an accident.
Absolutely. We will be a much safer society.
Not to mention: no irrational fear of firearms.
