[QUOTE="gunnut, post: 1136856, member: 2903"] officially vetoed. [url]http://www.gov.ok.gov/billtrack/index.php[/url] This is to advise you that on this date, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 11 and 12 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution to approve or object to legislation presented to me, I have VETOED House Bill 3354.

On the contrary, law enforcement officials have raised concerns about the unintended consequences of citizens openly brandishing weapons in public places and have said such a law would make their jobs more difficult and dangerous.
