Constitutional Carry send your support

[Catt57]

Here is a response from my senator, Roland Pederson:

Good afternoon Gary,


Thanks for reaching out concerning the very important matter. I support HB2597 as it does address many of the concerns that were in the Constitutional Carry bill vetoed by the Governor last year. Included are specifics about the bill HB2597.

What specifics were of concern?

Agreed I don't even know what the difference between the two are supposed to be. Everyone says this one is more restrictive than that one but don't say how or why.

My son in law and I shot at the same time along with a deputy that had just moved here from Arizona we got done shooting and my son in law leaned over and said look! And I looked at the guys target and half the shots were not on paper at 7 yards

I shot a steel challenge match in AZ a few years ago and they had a separate division for officers. Iron sights to iron sights I beat the officer by a pretty wide margin in the 22 pistol category. I hate to imagine what the difference in actual hit and miss was.

He didn't address that specifically but he did provide this graphic.

I just still think it is crazy that someone from Arizona or another constitutional carry state can carry with no permit but we must submit and pay a fee for a right.

But can they carry legally in Oklahoma?

Yes.

OK. Maybe it's because I just got up from a nap, but I just read the text of HB2597, and there is still a lot of "shall not" phrases in that 36 pages of the bill. Still has references to having a handgun license as well.

Where's Dave when a guy needs the advice of a lawyer while reading a bill?

I haven't seen much from him lately. I'm not even sure if he saw my last PM I sent him.
@Dave70968 Are you still out there?

Can't see the image. Looks like you tried to link it directly from your email account?

I did, and it shows up for me. I copied the image address from the email and pasted it to my post with tags
