The way they've been running the press with it, I think the primary reason was to stir up the pot a little to see what the public sentiment would be for going that far. Some of those Senators truly support it, while others saw it as a "safe" way to say that they voted for open carry.Sometimes, a title is stricken to buy more time for a fiscal analysis. This bill probably needs one, but it's not one that could really pinpoint a cost. Basically, they just need someone to sign off on a prediction that the impact to conceal weapons permits would be limited.The title could also be stricken in an effort to get the language in there and sent to the House, but force it to come back to the Senate to send it to the Governor's desk with the mile-high stack of other bills at the last minute. It could be a signal that the Senate doesn't believe the Governor would sign the bill at this time and needs a little more politicking.Yeah, striking the title or enacting clause is a parliamentary game, but it can be used as a tool. I'm vocal on Facebook. Most people don't argue with me very long. I think it's because I use facts and figures in my arguments, most of which are irrefutable. The insurance exchange bill is a requirement of Obamacare. The people you elected who said they would stand up against Obamacare and voted for that bill should be voted out of office. Just like Fallin had the opportunity to decline the federal dollars for setting up the exchange, your legislators had the opportunity to vote down the bill enabling the exchange controlled by a non-elected official.</blockquote>
