Just a reminder to my neighbors to the south. Your state house of reps is voting on constitutional carry this coming Monday, April 23rd.

https://d97yz4wvpgciz.cloudfront.net/articles/20180420/oklahoma-house-to-consider-constitutional-carry-amendment-on-monday

That's a link to NRA-ILA explaining the bill and also contains a direct link to contact your reps and urge the to vote for the bill.

Good luck!

Posted in home town as well, just trying to get the word out.

I'm surprised they weren't already. Texas will never have it, too many commies, but Oklahoma likely will.

Sign up to NRA-ILA notifications, it's interesting to see what's happening in every state(and sometimes has that depressing tone). This just happens to be one of the better laws being kicked around.

Found this at the bottom of page 4, just bringing it back to the top the further our Oklahoma brethren's 2nd amendment rights.

I mean, I'm from Kansas, already have constitutional carry, WTF do I care? It's a gun forum. I see people botching about our side always losing.

This is why....

Took my kiddo to a birthday party, got to talk to a number of other dads, none of them knew about this either.

I explained to them what constitutional carry was and all but one wants me to send them a link to the canned letter.

So hopefully it will get done!  Was actually surprised how receptive people were today.  I figured most have license and have accepted that way of doing things.  I do as well, but no need to have to pay the fee every 5 or 10 years.

Rain on NRA-ILA. . .hit OK2A for Oklahoma stuff.  They do a heck of a lot more for us than the NRA does.

And this is an amendment to an existing bill.  If the House passes the amendment, it will have to go back to the Senate to be voted on again before it gets to Mattress Mary's desk.  But don't let me slow you down. . .please call/write the reps!  This needs to happen!

Contacted a couple people I know in OK to get out there, contact their reps!  Good luck OK!!

On Monday, April 23, the Oklahoma House of Representatives is scheduled to consider a pro-gun amendment to Senate Bill 1212.

This pro-gun amendment would recognize the rights of law-abiding Oklahoma residents to carry a firearm for self-defense without having to first obtain a government mandated license to do so.  
Go here: https://act.nraila.org/default.aspx and click on "Write your state lawmakers" --> "Take action" and send your OK reps a letter of your support!

We've had open carry for a few years now and I haven't noticed a single person doing it. Before it was signed into law, the papers were complaining that we'd be all wild west shootouts and violent.

I’ve had people argue against constitutional carry but have convinced every one of them that it would be a good thing. I teach CCW classes here and would be overjoyed to have constitutional carry despite losing the extra money from teaching, I usually did them cheap anyway because having to have a class to carry is absurd to me.

Our Governor will veto it. She vetoed open carry when that passed and had to be overridden. Fallin is useless.

They will probably get all the teachers to walk out again in protest of this one since the Legislature renigged on their education funding bills.

While some fellow KS instructors railed and moaned against ConCarry because of the potential loss of revenue safety concerns, usually within earshot of a reporter, I gladly let my certification lapse.

I remember the flack the instructors gave over this. As far as I know, it hasn't affected the ones I know. People still go to the trouble to get a ccl. It's still needed for reciprocity. I keep mine current.

My oldest son, soon to turn 21, wants to take the class and get his ccl as soon as he can.

And yes, the only news it got was the wild west effect, that never actually happened...

Yep.  Many of our liberals say they can’t stand this backwards state, and are moving to California.  For some reason, they never say they are going to New York.

I'm an NRA Life member at the Benefactor level. I know the NRA sat on its hands the first time open carry came up in the Oklahoma legislature and only made a token effort the second time when it passed.
The OK2A Association is the mover on the current legislation and not so much the NRA.

I am cautiously optimistic Texas will get Constitutional Carry. There are some quiet things going on behind the scenes that make it more likely all the time.

I called but it will never happen. The OSBI gets too much $$$ from the permits. One guy does them all and they get 140 a pop.

In Kansas all the people who wanted to carry had permits and carried.  I don't know anyone who started carrying now that you don't need it.  More freedom, I hope it spreads.

According to OK2A, it will be heard Wednesday or Thursday.  Hopefully they don't do it like the last CC bill, and let it expire without being heard.
