Gov Falin's response to the veto over ride .

“Last Tuesday I vetoed 15 bills in an attempt to refocus the attention of the Legislature on important issues facing this state that have been left unaddressed. Those issues include: the need to support local communities seeking to build storm shelters in schools; the need to repair our crumbling state Capitol; addressing our unfunded and fiscally unstable pension system; working to reduce the crisis of prescription drug abuse in Oklahoma; and delivering a responsible, balanced budget that funds core areas of government such as education appropriately while delivering targeted pay raises to some state employees.

“Those issues remain unaddressed and time is running out. The Legislature has chosen to override one of my vetoes, which is certainly its legal right and an outcome I knew was possible. The legislation they passed today makes it easier to sell and transfer restricted firearms and accessories like silencers, which is fine. Now that they’ve accomplished that, I am asking the House and Senate to work with each other and with me to deliver legislation to fund our state government, improve our economy and generally do the things their constituents have put them in office to do. The legislative session is scheduled to end on May 30th. The time for action is now.”"


She needs to be voted out.

I think she's a fairly good Governor, and I don't disagree with some of the priorities she'd like to see addressed (esp. the Capitol repairs). But I'm glad this veto was overridden.

Since there was apparently enough time to rewrite the vetoed bills and pass them through both houses and send them to the Governess before the end of the session(according to Senate leadership at least), perhaps we should keep up the pressure on the Senate to pass the Oklahoma Firearms Freedom Act(HB2021) and send it to her highness to sign or veto before the end of the session?

Hope nothing was rewritten in the bill.
Read this lovely little quote in the newsok from the bills author.

The purpose of the bill is to prevent Oklahoma sheriffs and police chiefs from stalling the transfer of federally regulated firearms and accessories like silencers, fully automatic weapons and short-barreled shotguns, said state Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, the Senate author of the bill.

The bill places a 15-day deadline on local chief law enforcement officers to act on a transfer request once the federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms has determined the applicant’s eligibility, Dahm said.

“There have been cases where a sheriff, or whoever that law enforcement officer might be, has just kept it in limbo for perpetuity, so what this does is it sets a time limit,” Dahm said. “Once the ATF signs off on it, you have 15 days to either approve or deny the permit.”


Folks guess what!
The chief LEO has to sign BEFORE the paperwork is submitted to Batfe. Not after they have approved it.

I believe this is/was the final version that passed.


An Act

ENROLLED HOUSE
BILL NO. 2461
By: Turner, Bennett and Christian of the House
and
Dahm, Griffin, Crain and
Shortey of the Senate

An Act relating to crimes and punishments; requiring
law enforcement officials to execute certain
certification requests; providing exceptions;
requiring written notification of denial; authorizing
appeals to district court; defining terms; providing
for codification; and providing an effective date.
SUBJECT: Firearms
BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA:
SECTION 1. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified
in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1289.30 of Title 21, unless
there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
A. When certification by a chief law enforcement officer is
required by federal law or regulation for the transfer or making of
a firearm, the chief law enforcement officer shall, within fifteen
(15) days of receipt of a request for certification, provide such
certification if the applicant is not prohibited by law from
receiving the firearm or the applicant is not the subject of a
proceeding that could result in the applicant being prohibited by
law from receiving the firearm. If the applicant is prohibited by
law from receiving the firearm or the applicant is the subject of a
proceeding that could result in such prohibition, the chief law
enforcement officer shall provide written notification to the
applicant that certification has been denied and state the reasons
for such findings.
B. An applicant whose request for certification is denied may
appeal the decision of the chief law enforcement officer to the
district court that is located in the county in which the applicant
resides. The court shall review the decision of the chief law
enforcement officer to deny the certification de novo. If the court
finds that the applicant is not prohibited by law from receiving the
firearm or the applicant is not the subject of a proceeding that
could result in such prohibition, the court shall order the chief
law enforcement officer to issue the certification and shall award
court costs and reasonable attorney fees to the applicant.
C. For purposes of this section:
1. "Certification" means the participation and assent of the
chief law enforcement officer necessary under federal law for the
approval of the application to transfer or make a firearm;
2. "Chief law enforcement officer" means any official that the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or any
successor agency, identifies by regulation or otherwise as eligible
to provide any required certification for applications to transfer
or make a firearm; and
3. "Firearm" shall have the same meaning as provided for in the
National Firearms Act, subsection a of Section 5845 of Title 26 of
the United States Code.
SECTION 2. This act shall become effective November 1, 2014.
