[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1122069, member: 239"] I spoke with Richard Morrisette's (D) (unfortunately my state rep)secretary/PR/public liason this morning to find out how he was gonna vote on HB3354. "No clue", she said, "but he is a member of the NRA" (which at this point was a strange thing to say since I had made no other comment other than to ask how he was going to vote not how I wanted him to vote) and she vaguely remembered getting a memo from them about the issue. I told her the NRA was neutral on the issue (furious typing in the background - she didn't know that). She didn't think he'd even thought about HB 3354 yet. After some chit chat about various house procedural issues I was interested in I finally told her the reason I was calling was that "I considered a politician's stand on the 2nd amendment a bell weather issue". I explained that a politician that was pro 2nd trusted his/her constituents and one that wasn't didn't trust their constituents at all and deserved as little respect as he showed his constituents. (I could hear her typing what I was saying furiously in the background). I asked if he was aware that only 7 of our 50 states did not permit Open Carry. I asked if he considered Oklahoma citizens any less law abiding and responsible than the citizens in the 43 states that did permit OC. She said she'd let him know what I'd said and would call me back this afternoon around 3:30 or 4 and let me know how he was gonna vote on the issue. She also mentioned that opposition to the bill was so weak on the floor that it would undoubtedly pass (the implication being his vote really wouldn't matter). IMO based on the conversation with one who should know - the bill's going to pass. She also mentioned she thought Henry would sign it. More chit chat and somehow the topic of control of the house came up and I allowed that I thought the Dems still controlled it and that I was surprised she thought the bill would pass. She mentioned how strongly it had passed the senate and that the house was controlled by the republicans. The way she said it my impression was she was glad of that - surprising - coming from an employee of a pretty hard core demonrat. Anyway - I doubt she'll call me back but if she does... [/QUOTE]
