Is Mary Fallin the Lt. Governor that was having an affair with her state trooper body guard?
I'd like a link or something.
Not saying anything one way or the other.
Just like to know.

Might consider changing you user name to something more fitting, maybe something like proauthoritarianopressivegovernmentokie.
wow. that's probably the greatest incongruence between post content and username that i have ever seen.
12,871: I like the open carry only as an added protection against anti-gun people who would make a big deal out of unintended exposure of a firearm from a licensed carrier.
I have no doubts that we'll get open carry next year. The same people will probably pass it and Fallin will sign it. No more worrying about brandishing, or at least that's what it means for me.
No Tibbs got re elected. She chairs the public safety committee I believe the only reason she let it out of committee instead of killing it their was because she was up for election this year. Hide and watch she'll sit on it if it comes up this year.
Is there no way for the house members to force it out of committee?
Yep.
In the House, as long as the committee does not give a "Do Not Pass" recommendation, your legislator can sign a Discharge Petition. (House Rule 7.8)
If 2/3 of the House Membership sign a Discharge Petition, then it forces the bill onto the calendar, bypassing the committee and Speaker.
I'm not sure in the Senate, and a quick skimming of their rules didn't result in seeing a similar mechanism.
