HB 3354 - Open Carry

[Bullbuster]

Russ cook just sent this to me, maybe there is still a chance:



SUBJECT: Urge AWOL & Turncoat legislators to override open carry veto!

You're receiving this email because you support the Petition for Open Carry in Oklahoma at http://www.petitiononline.com/oc4ok/petition.html.

House Representative Rex Duncan has stated that he may make another attempt to override the Governor's veto of HB3354, see http://newsok.com/article/3462793.

Here's the deal - the open carry bill passed by veto proof majorities in both houses. But after Governor Brad "Veto Happy" Henry vetoed the bill, 15 representatives changed their vote or refused to vote at all for the bill!

It's one thing for a legislator to stand up and vote anti-gun - that's at least honest.

But its a whole 'nother thing to play games and tricks with the people's right to arms - to hide your vote, duck your vote, and otherwise shirk their duty to take a stand and cast a recorded vote.

Adding insult to injury, incredibly, Representative Glenn Bud Smithson (D-Sallisaw) called open carry supporters COWARDS, see
http://newsok.com/open-carry-weapon...article/3459027?custom_click=lead_story_title, but then turned around and REFUSED to even stand up and cast a vote on the veto override matter!

[Voting record and contact information can be found at http://www.ok.gov]

The good news is we only need 3 more votes to save the open carry bill. However, time is short!

Action Item #1: If YOUR personal representative is on the TURNCOAT or AWOL lists, contact them - email, phone, and in person if you can - go to their office and **POLITELY** request to see him on this matter and urge him to vote correctly and let Oklahoma join the 43 other States that enjoy Open Carry in accordance with the Founders' intent! Bring your friends and family - make it a freedom delegation!

Action Item #2: Email the entire list of TURNCOATs and AWOLs!

Make their Blackberries' inbox crack like machine gun fire!

SUBJECT: Urge your legislators to override the open carry bill veto!

Dear Representative:

I am highly distressed that you either (1) changed your vote on the open carry bill, or (2) refused to vote at all, when the time came to override the veto.

Another veto override vote will take place soon.

Take a stand! There is no reason why Oklahomans cannot be trusted to become residents of the 44th open carry state.

This bill is very important to me and many Oklahoma gun owners.

We will remember what you do.

Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
YOUR ADDRESS

CARRY ON!

I copied and posted this on all OK gun forums I visit. Hope it get the fire going a bit more.

I also sent Mr. Kirby a personal not being the ONLY (R) on the list.

So... I heard on the radio that one of the legislators from Sand Springs was going to make the push again to override the veto.

Any truth to all this, are they really going to push for it again!?!?!?

I don't think they are able to, considering House Rules.

 

[OutragedPatriots]

YES, if things go as planned, they are planning to push it for ANOTHER vote to override. They can do this daily until the session ends if they so choose. Several representatives have told me this in the past 24 hours so I truly feel they have been told this is allowed in the rules. Time will tell.

Actually sent some emails and a CV to some recruiters in Texas.

Very very disappointed in our legislators today.

Would this not be cutting off your nose to spite your face since TX does not have OC either and, to my knowledge, has not even had a legislative proposal on OC?

Nice call, but actually, no, it wouldn't.

You see, it might be a lateral move in terms of firearms carry, but Texas has significantly more financial incentive for me to relocate there... so I think I'd be better off on the whole.

I just don't think I'll be able to wear burnt orange, though....

SOAB!!! I ordered 3 OWB holsters last week because I thought this was a no brainer sure thing. Let's get this fixed!

Please don't.

Do y'all think a mistake may have been a lot of us saying we would not "open carry" but rather conceal with no concern of "printing." That was my hope and I thrust it on everyone else; sorry. N E way, I am more stoked than ever to get involved in the 2A rights battle.

I don't think it was a mistake at all! I will continue to carry concealed but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't want someone else's rights restricted because of my personal preference.

 

[sanjuro893]

I got a response e-mail from Stan Inman of Del City yesterday stating he would like to discuss the conversations he had with OSTA and other organizations that made him change his vote. I gave him my work number and said "by all means, call me". He never did. As far as I'm concerned, he's through representing me in anything.

Edit: Almost forgot. I've supported FOP, Trooper Boosters, OK county Sheriffs, and several other organizations in the past. I'm trying to find out which organizations "advised" the governor on this issue and send them a letter or phone call cutting off support.
