[QUOTE="Iwant1, post: 1050925, member: 2905"] Sent from J. Murphuy Anti-Gun Lawmakers Prevent Vote OKLAHOMA CITY Anti-gun Democrats in the Oklahoma House of Representatives momentarily prevented a vote to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens today, but state Rep. Rex Duncan vowed to continue the fight. Thanks to a partial Democratic caucus walkout and their flat refusal to consider an amendment, law-abiding Oklahomans with a concealed-carry permit were denied the opportunity to exercise their rights openly, said Duncan, R-Sand Springs. However, this issue will not go away just because some lawmakers choose to duck and cover instead of voting. House Bill 3354, by Duncan and state Sen. Anthony Sykes (R-Moore), would prevent the private information of concealed-carry permit holders from being released to the public if the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation were to receive an open-records request regarding those files. When the bill was brought up, Duncan tried to amend it to include language authored by state Rep. David Derby (R-Owasso) that would have allowed law-abiding Oklahomans with a concealed-carry gun license to carry their weapon openly. That proposal has already been enacted in over a dozen states, Duncan noted. However, to consider that amendment, lawmakers had to vote to suspend the House rules, which required two-thirds support. The majority of House Democrats either opposed the motion or fled the chamber, Duncan noted. Only three Democrats state Reps. R.C. Pruett (D-Antlers), Eric Proctor (D-Tulsa) and Terry Harrison (D-McAlester) voted with Second Amendment supporters. The un-amended version of House Bill 3354 passed the House today and now proceeds to the state Senate. I plan to work with Senator Sykes to achieve the goal of allowing concealed-carry permit holders to carry openly, Duncan said. Despite the setback at the hands of anti-gun House Democrats today, I am optimistic the Second Amendment will ultimately prevail. [/QUOTE]
