I know the definition, what will it mean towards the success of the bill.

I don't like HB1936 as written due to the section where a resident of Oklahoma who applies for and receives a license from another state can be fined $1000. As long as that stays in, I discourage the passage of this bill.

There was a committee substitute for the bill that removed this provision and even allows OK to begin issuing non-resident permits.

It was pointed out in the committee meeting that moving to a NICS system may cost OK some reciprocity with some other states. For example, NE grants reciprocity as long as a finger print check is done on the person applying for a carry license.

It just shows that the bill has the support of those people that signed on as co-authors. With enough co-authors it would be pretty much guaranteed to pass the full chamber.

Kinda what I thought. Thanks

Anything that gets in the way of maximum reciprocity needs to be struck. Substitute language that restores the carry license as a NICS bypass when purchasing firearms, a la Texas, would be the preferred way to go, IMO.

Probably not the final version but the current Floor version of HB1936 is HERE

It reads much, much better than the original.

Does anything address those of us who have a 10 year license currently, I opted for the 10 year renewal last time and would hate to lose what I paid for.
