Oklahoma Omnibus Firearms Bill Sent to Senate!
Please Contact Your State Senator and Urge Support for House Bill 2522Â
Today, House Bill 2522 was given final passage in the House by an 85 to 9 vote and will now be sent to the state Senate for consideration.  This bill, authored by state Representative Steve Martin (R-10), is an NRA-backed omnibus firearm bill which would make significant improvements to Oklahoma’s gun laws.
House Bill 2522 contains several important provisions, including:
1) Language authored by state Representative Jason Murphey (R-31), which would seeks to prohibit persons, property owners and companies from banning ammunition in locked vehicles;
2) A provision by state Representative Lewis Moore (R-96), which would allow people to carry firearms openly on their private property; and
3) Revisions to current Oklahoma statute which strike the word “concealed†from Oklahoma firearm permit citations and apply the lawful open carrying of firearms to Oklahoma's firearm preemption law.
The state House also approved an amendment to remove “immediate†from the ambiguous “immediate notification†requirement for carry permit holders when stopped by law enforcement officials, making notification required instead at the first opportunity. This amendment also lowered the associated fine from $500 to $100 for non-compliance.
The NRA will continue working with your state legislators to resolve the issues addressed by this bill, and will keep you updated.
Please contact your state Senator to urge him or her to support NRA-backed HB 2522!
