Exercising 2nd Amendment Rights at OU Basketball Game

Right to Bear Arms / December 31, 2017

On December 19, 2017, Don Spencer (President of the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association) purchased a ticket to the OU basketball game with the intention to attend the game while carrying a (legal) pocket knife into the basketball arena. OU has a “policy” that does not allow anyone to bring in knives or any type of weapon into the arena. Upon entering the arena, everyone must pass through a security station much like you would do at the airport. Everyone must walk through a metal detector and empty their pockets to ensure that no one will bring in contraband or weapons. We have been receiving reports from OK2A members that OU security personnel have been forcing people to return to their vehicle(s) to store their pocket knives in their vehicles because of their restrictive policy regarding knives and other weapons.

Oklahoma State Senator Nathan Dahm on the Right to Bear Arms

Right to Bear Arms / December 16, 2017

It’s no secret that Oklahoma State Senator Nathan Dahm is a die-hard constitutionalist and a strong believer in our nation’s founding principles. OK2A has worked hard alongside Senator Dahm to successfully fight for Second Amendment rights in Oklahoma, and we hope that his influence will only grow stronger as he continues to capitalize on every opportunity to stand up for our God-given constitutional rights here in Oklahoma. We are fortunate to benefit from his continual influence at the state capitol.

Canadian County Employee Handbook Policy Changed

Workplace Policies / December 11, 2017

The Canadian County modified their employee handbook to allow employees with a valid handgun license to carry while on the job. Including the OK2A in decisions such as these is always a great step forward on the return of all your rights. The new policy was approved by a majority vote of elected county officers at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of County Commissioners of Canadian County on December 11, 2017. The amendment supersedes the current policy in the Canadian County employee personnel policy handbook.

Nonprofit Super PAC Gives Nevada “C-” On Gun Control

Gun Control / October 4, 2017

Following the Las Vegas attack, many are scrutinizing federal and state gun laws. The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gave Nevada a C- on gun control. Oklahoma is among the 10 worst states for strong gun control laws, earning the grade of an F. The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence and Americans for Responsible Solutions are the group behind the rankings. The ARS is a nonprofit super PAC that lobbies for stricter gun laws. The grades are based on several factors including gun death rate per 100,000 people. In that category, Nevada came in at 14.9 and Oklahoma at 18. Nevada does not require the registration of firearms, does not limit the number of firearms that may be purchased

Legislative Update: Three More Bills Go to Governor

Legislative Updates / May 14, 2017

Three more OK2A request bills have been sent to Governor Fallin. Awaiting her signature are SB35, SB40, and SB397, all of which passed this Senate last week. The Governor’s signature is all that is needed for these three bills to become law. We request polite, encouraging phone calls to the Governor’s office on behalf of these bills. The Governor’s telephone number is 405-521-2342. SB35 will allow active duty members of the military to carry a handgun using their military ID card as their license. SB40 is the “Point, Don’t Shoot” bill which protects anyone who points a firearm in a self-defense scenario. Currently, a person can be charged with a felony for pointing but not shooting a firearm, even if it is in self-defense.

Senate Committee Rejects Car Carry

Concealed Carry / April 6, 2017

The Oklahoma City Chamber came out in opposition to HB2323, again disseminating misleading information about another gun bill (we will release more information about this over the weekend). Unfortunately, seven members (two democrats and five republicans) of the Senate Public Safety Committee decided to join the OKC Chamber in trampling the 2nd Amendment rights of Oklahomans. For those who occasionally get aggravated at OK2A-Association for calling republicans on the carpet who don’t support the 2nd Amendment, this vote is one more example of republicans failing to honor their oath to support the Constitution.
