House Bills stuck in Senate

[rawhide]

HB2614 applying to District Attorneys carrying firearms and HB2461 that would require sheriffs and police chiefs to process NFA request did make the agenda in the Senate Public Safety Committee.

BUT, the following did not. Please call Senator Barrington's office at 405-521-5563 and/or email [email protected] and ask him to hear these bills.

• HB2887 (Sen. Griffin) – Allows a college, university, or vo-tech to adopt a policy concerning the carrying of weapons. If they choose not to adopt a policy, a letter of permission would be required (this is current policy). It also provides for immunity from liability for the institution if it sets a policy or grants a letter of permission. It does NOT force any institution to allow carry.
• HB2329 (Sen. Boggs) – Allows handgun licensees to store their weapon in their locked vehicle while parked on a K-12 school parking lot.
• HB2617 (Sen. Sharp) – Removes non-secured public buildings from the list of prohibited places in the Self-Defense Act.

Good. HB2461 was one I sent Barrington a email on.

It appears good pro-gun bills are intentionally sent to committees that will be tough to get out of.
Contact Bingman and Schultz to request these bills be assigned to Judiciary Committee.

HB2617 needs help

 

[rawhide]

Ask Senate Majority Floor Leader Mike Schulz [email protected] to immediately move HB2617 to the Judiciary Committee.

Ask President Pro Tempore Brian Bingman [email protected] to ask Senator Schulz to move the bill.

From the article in the link in the previous post:

In the process of trying to move HB2617 out of Senator Barrington’s committee, Senator Schulz said he would not move it unless he had proof that the NRA is backing it.

I'm a Life Member of the NRA but shouldn't he be more concerned with what people in Oklahoma support?

HB2329 (K-12 parking lots) is huge. Tons of good people with SDA licenses inadvertently committing felonies every week when they park at church. Gotta fix that one.

I am assuming these churches have a private school on the property? If so, the church/school can adopt a policy allowing firearms, and be completely legal.

C. A concealed or unconcealed weapon may be carried onto private school property or in any school bus or
vehicle used by any private school for transportation of students or teachers by a person who is license
pursuant to the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act, provided a policy has been adopted by the governing entity of the
private school that authorizes the carrying and possession of a weapon on private school property or in any
school bus or vehicle used by a private school. Except for acts of gross negligence or willful or wanton
misconduct, a governing entity of a private school that adopts a policy which authorizes the possession of a
weapon private school property, a school bus or vehicles used the private school shall be immune from liability
for any injuries arising from the adoption of the policy. The provision of this subsection shall not apply to claims
pursuant to the Workers’ Compensation Code.

Point is that our general "parking lot protection" law for other kinds of locations should apply the same way to K-12 parking lots, too.

There is no reason that concealed carry permit holders should not be able to leave a firearm in their vehicle in a K-12 school parking lot. Letting the bill die is reprehensible.

Not getting a warm & fuzzy at all, I wrote Senator Barrington about moving on several bills. He (or his assistant-Sandra Shelton) wrote back to me a glowing email filled with all of his pro-2A legislation over the past few years, it reads like 100% kiss-off it aint gonna happen in 2014.
