Oklahoma: Pro-gun Legislation Passes Overwhelmingly Through the House
Friday, March 11, 2016

Last year, House Joint Resolution 1009 passed the House Rules Committee and was headed to the House floor. As previously reported, this measure makes a critical improvement to the current Right to Keep and Bear Arms Amendment in Oklahoma’s constitution. This is a measure that provides the strongest possible protection for your gun rights, guaranteeing in the state constitution your Right to Keep and Bear Arms against any infringements or restrictions for you and future generations of Oklahomans. All proposed restrictions to any of your fundamental rights should be subject to a standard that ensures the strongest possible protection for that right, especially your Second Amendment rights.

Yesterday, March 10, HJR 1009 was passed overwhelmingly by the House of Representatives with a 66-7 vote.

Also yesterday, House Bill 3098 passed with an overwhelming 73-15 vote. Sponsored by state Representative Jeff Coody (R-63), HB 3098 would allow for the open carry of a handgun without having to obtain a permit. This bill would allow a law-abiding citizen to open carry a firearm on their person without the fees associated with obtaining a carry permit. HB 3098 does nothing to change the current permitting process in the state of Oklahoma for those individuals who still prefer to conceal carry a firearm and receive reciprocity in other states.

HJR 1009 and HB 3098 are both waiting for committee assignments in the Senate. Your NRA-ILA will continue to keep you updated as more information becomes available.

Nice of NRA to keep us informed while OK2A does all the work.

This is great. The masters return to us the right that they stole from us many years ago. Except you'll still need their blessing to carry concealed.

I wonder if God ever steals from us and then decides to return that which was stolen?

You mean the NRA that refused to back our attempts to get open carry initially passed?


Oh yeah... that NRA.

Yup. "Here's what OK2A has done in Oklahoma. . .please send us more money to keep up the fight. Sincerely, NRA"

While I am a lifetime NRA member, I cancelled my ORA membership and will likely never join again. OK2A has accomplished more to preserve and advance gun owner's rights in recent years than the NRA has accomplished in Oklahoma in my lifetime. It puzzles me that so many gun owners are NRA members but so few are OK2A members. In Oklahoma, OK2A is by far the best option.

Saw that on facebook earlier today along with blood in the streets comments. Just seconds ago I browsed over the bill and noticed that the phrase while "no crime is being committed" (or something close to it) is included several times.
