Folks here is a wrap up of current okla gun/ ccw bills from the ok2a group.
Well, we’ve reached the mid-point. House Bills have gone to the Senate and visa versa. So, it’s time to give a status report on the voting record of our legislators and on the progress of our Legislative Agenda.
We will release a full scorecard later this week, but we can give you a preview. The following Representatives earned an A+ rating: Bennet, Cockroft, Derby, Hall, Inman, Johnson, Kern, Key, Newell, Proctor, Reynolds, Ritze, Russ, Terrill, and Wesselhoft. Fourteen Representatives received an F: Coody, Cox, DeWitt, Hoskin, Joyner, McDaniel (Jeannie), McPeak, Morgan, Pittman, Shelton, Shumate, Sullivan, Virgin, and Speaker Steele. From the Senate, the following received A+ ratings: Ellis, Russell, and Shortey.
