OKLAHOMA: Firearm Reform Bills Face Deadline Next Week
By next Thursday, April 26, all Senate bills must receive the approval of the Oklahoma House or they will no longer be eligible for consideration this session. Senate Bill 1760 received unanimous approval in the House Public Safety Committee, but has not yet been brought to the House floor for a vote. This "Emergency Powers" bill is necessary to fill the current gap in the language of the state riot control statute to prevent the banning of ownership, possession or transportation of firearms and ammunition during declared states of emergency. Senate Bill 1743 also awaits a vote on the House floor. Known as the "Landowner's Hunting Freedom Act," SB 1743 would allow Oklahoma landowners and their guests to use lawfully-possessed suppressors (also referred to as silencers) on firearms for hunting.
