[QUOTE="owassopilot, post: 1445290, member: 16273"] Although I don't think all of this will pass, I do believe we will see something happen this year. There is momentum with Gov. Fallin coming into office who publicly stated she would support open carry. What will happen here is all these bills will go into a committee where they will cuss and discuss what to do with it all. If all goes well, out will come a consolidated version that they believe will pass both houses, and get the governors signature. I didn't want to flood the forums with all the exact text of each of these bills, but basically, they each modify the current SDA with the modifications I mentioned in my initial post. None of these appear to be NEW laws, just modifying the existing one. Here are the parts I "think" will make it through: 1) Open Carry for handgun permit holders - This has been a long drawn out battle and it did actually pass last year, plus missed overriding the governors veto by only a small margin. Combined with the fact that this was on Gov. Fallin's website, I think if nothing else makes it, this will. 2) Removing Technology centers and professional sporting events from the list of prohibited places. These two never really made sense anyway. 3) College carry - There seems to be a small, but strengthening push for this nation-wide. I think it will pass. 4) People probably won't care as much about this, but I think the fee removal might make it through. 5) Adding a misdemeanor drug conviction to list of temporary preclusions for a handgun license probably will make it through to appease the small voice of gun control advocates in Oklahoma. Although, I think 10 years is probably a bit excessive here. I don't think there is enough political will power right now to pass full open carry without a permit, (Known as constitutional carry) nor do I think they will remove government buildings and meetings from the list of prohibited places. I could be wrong, but allowing citizens to carry weapons in a court house, city hall, or school board meeting will not sit well with judges and mayors, unless they were to add language that gives the option to allow or not in individual buildings, such as it is right now with private businesses. If you remove the current restrictions, then unlike a private business that can just ask you to leave, the law could be interpreted to require all government buildings in Oklahoma to allow both open and concealed carry.
