[David2012]

Bill increases Second Amendment protection.
......Senate Bill 1760, by state Sen. Anthony Sykes and state Rep. T.W. Shannon, would specify that Oklahomans’ Second Amendment rights cannot be taken away during a declared state of emergency.

“While government may assume greater police powers to preserve public safety during times of emergency, the government should never be allowed to strip citizens of their most basic constitutional rights,” said Shannon, R-Lawton. “This legislation simply makes clear that Oklahomans will continue to have the right to self-defense during emergency situations.”.....

Yeah, but like me, you probably do this from your desk at work...

I keed...I keed...

Ha, I wish man! I have to do everything on an iPhone because my computer is so lame I don't even turn it on anymore and I shoot too much to get around to fixing the stupid thing.

HB2522 has an amendment filed on the Senate floor. We all expected an amendment, but nothing like this. If the amendment passes, it would add ammunition to the parking lot exemption, change the fine for failure to notify, and make notification on "first opportunity". The ONLY open carry this amendment would allow would be on your own private property that you owned, leased, rented or had legal control over. Since this amendment was placed by the Senate sponsor of the bill, I think our only chance will be SB1733 and I don't look for a conference committee.

There is still SB1733 to try and get through.

This was part of the original HB2522. They have removed general open carry from this bill and put in almost everything else.

I have now heard that more amendments are on the way for HB2522, so we shall see what else may happen to it.

Have you heard when it will be placed on the calender to be heard by the full house?
