[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1989277, member: 229"] So, Oklahoma's knife laws have always been sort of a gripe with me (every since I got into knives) and I'd like to make some attempt to change them (I don't have high hopes, but what the heck). So, what's the process to get the current bill amended? I assume we file some sort of official petition (it is 2012, so I would hope we could do this online - I attempted to google, but there's a lot of legal jargon that I don't have any idea as to what specific type of petition we'd want), and then what - it goes before Oklahoma legislature... possibly hitting the floor as a bill-change/update and then if enough congressman/women want to move forward with it - it becomes a bill? Here is the official state law regarding carrying of knives (the famous 21-1272): [url]http://oklegal.onenet.net/oklegal-cgi/get_statute?99/Title.21/21-1272.html[/url] The Bolded-Red parts are what I would pull out personally (I don't know if we have any sword-cane fans in the OSA crowd), but I'm open to suggestions. I assume we would want the text to be agreed upon and perfect before starting to collect signatures. I know we have some legal-minds on OSA, so if a fee needs to be paid to file, I'm actually willing to pay for it and sort of oversee this thing all the way to the State Capitol. Would we have any sort of support from the OSA community if I took this on? It might involve actually having to sit at a booth at a gunshow and having folks sign this petition (I would volunteer to do that for every show I could attend on this side of the state). What say you OSA? [/QUOTE]
