From the OK2A website:
Please call Senator Sykes office and ask him to accept the House amendments for SB1733 (open carry) and SB1760 (emergency powers).  He can be reached at (405) 521-5569 or [email protected].  This is critical.  Please call him as soon as possible.

What the hell is going on now?

Last I heard they were doing pretty good - had to work out some language - and the next step was to have it signed (which looks promising).

If this is referring to the addition that pretty much makes it constitutional carry.... I thought that was already dead.

Who knows WTF is going on with a legislator playing games?
He may be trying to squeeze some last small deal out on his personal agenda.
But if the guys at the OK2A say to call and ask for something, we'd better do it.

Allegedly, Sykes has a personal agenda of redistricting a few judicial district lines which is intended to yield an easy election for him and some of his buddies when they leave the legislature

Yep. It's his personal agenda, nothing else.

Was on the agenda for today but according to Sen Shultz's office Sykes requested the bill not be heard/voted on today.

Lot more information being posted here.

The bill passed today around noon. 33-10 in favor.

Now it'll head to the Gov's desk.

Here's hoping she'll sign it...

She'd be stupid not to sign it. Keeping your constituents happy is pretty important.

I think we have this one in the bag, boys.

A special thank you to Sen. Russell for keeping this on the front burner. While I know this final version wasn't exactly what he had in mind, we'll get there in baby steps. The same way we got to where we are today.

Is this pretty much the same version that was shut down last time.  Pretty much just making it a carry permit instead of only concealed

This is what someone on another site posted up....

"Just got off the phone myself...
The nice lady told me that they are just keeping track of the calls for or against. I stated that I read in the paper that the Governor was for the bill and said that she said she would be signing it. Again, the nice lady said that they are only keeping track of the calls coming in and that the Governor is for the bill, but she's interested in hearing the voice of the constituents. So please, make the call. She told me that since about 11:00 all the calls have been "for" but all calls proir were "against." I asked her about numbers...at that moment it was about 15 to 33 in freedoms favor.
Again, please make the call! "

She better watch out if she is trying to talk out of both sides of her mouth.

The NRA is reporting that she has said she will sign the bill.

Hopefully she knows better than to play games!!
