I pulled these from my friend, Brian Altenhofel's blog. I will just list them all in one thread instead of seperate ones
HB 2193 by Rep. Jason Murphey doesn't really need a whole lot of discussion. It simply proposes to amend firearm storage laws to include ammunition. This is presumably to prevent employers and other entities from being able to enforce policies that prohibit the storage of ammunition rather than just the storage of a firearm in locked vehicles in parking lots. What good is that gun that you carry without ammunition, after all?
SB 1076 by Sen. Steve Russell adds a preclusion to the issuing of a concealed handgun license. This preclusion prohibits the issuing of a concealed handgun license to an individual who has previously been determined incompetent by a lawful authority. However, while it does not allow an exemption for most individuals who have successfully had their alleged mental illness treated, it does allow an exemption for veterans who have successfully undergone treatment for post traumatic stress disorder.
SB 1092 by Sen. Steve Russell allows NRA instructors or Oklahoma Self Defense Act instructors to issue a document to students that they deem qualified to carry a firearm openly. There are no fees attached, however, a prerequisite is that they have been instructed on the open carry laws of Oklahoma. The bill does not state whether or not this instruction can be in conjunction with or must be in addition to the current course offered for a concealed handgun license. It does not require the document to be issued. It does not set nor does it prohibit a fee for the document.
HB2416 by Rep John Enns would change the language of the SDA. It would make it illegal for an SDA licenee to "intentionally display the handgun in an angry or threatening manner and not in necessary self-defense"; then adds: "a concealed handgun licensee shall not be in violation of this subsection if the licensee, when carrying the handgun in a concealed manner, briefly and openly displays the handgun to the ordinary sight of another person."
HB2384 by Josh Cockroft modifies language in the SDA, takes Elementary and Secondary schools off of the prohibited list. Then makes it just like colleges, that one can CC in their car into the parking lot, and only continue to carry if they have written permission from the school board, etc of the school. The would allow SDA licensees to carry back and forth to schools.
HB2383 by Josh Cockroft would delete the language from the SDA that limits the cost of the required training to $60. It replaces it with language that allows the provider of the training to establish the cost.
HB 2309 by George Faught proposes to change the language in the SDA that requires one to notify police on first contact during the course of a detention, arrest or traffic stop. This bill appears to say that a licensee under SDA would only have to notify WHEN SPECIFICALLY ASKED by law enforcement if they are carrying a weapon during the course of a detention, arrest or traffic stop.
