[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1487027, member: 5151"] HB1796 is the only House open carry bill still alive in form from committee. There were no Senate open carry bills still alive. However, all bills can be amended on the floor. The deadline for a bill to be voted on it its chamber of origin is this Thursday. SB129 is a good example of a floor amendment giving us a surprise. As I said earlier, I saw a retweet on Twitter from a Tulsa World reporter that the Senate was considering an open carry bill. I tried to get a response back on what it was, but got nothing. My contacts at the Capitol have been in the House most of this session since that seems to be where all the real action is so far. Anyways, I spent about a half hour trying to track down what open carry measure she could have been talking about. That's when I came across the floor amendments to SB129 - one to replace the hunting bill with language allowing individuals 18+ to carry openly without a license, and one to reinstate the title that had been stricken. According to the Senate Journal, the amendment to reinstate the title was not considered. By the way, when I was looking for that, I came across a page that had all electronically transmitted documents before they were added to the bill's page on OKLegislature.gov. I can't seem to find it now. In my opinion, legislators should support any floor amendment for HB1796 the strikes the ballot provision and (of course) keeps the title and enacting clause intact (I don't recall any of them removing it). If we were in utopia, I'd say go for broke and take FA7 which makes Oklahoma a 100% Constitutional Carry state, but I HIGHLY DOUBT that would pass. But why not try? (Here's [URL="http://www.altenhofel.com/blog/proposed-floor-amendment-would-make-oklahoma-constitutional-carry-state"]my summary[/URL] on the plethora of amendments to HB1796.) Obviously, you should call your Representatives and urge them to support SB129, and make sure to get someone to file an amendment to reinstate the title. By the way, [URL="http://www.altenhofel.com/blog/oklahoma-house-discharge-petition-hb1647-passes"]the discharge petition for HB1647 passed[/URL]. Call your Representatives and urge them to NOT support it without an amendment to remove the so-called "open carry language". The language in there only allows open carry if you can articulate a reasonable fear of bodily harm. I'll try to find more information about floor amendments pertaining to open carry in the House tomorrow morning (if there are any). The one for SB129 was the only open carry related one I could find in the Senate. [/QUOTE]
