I thought they were amending Tibb's bill to remove all the open ballot requirements making it a legislative effort only? Did that amendment not get accepted?
I just looked at the link and it is dated March 2nd, updated March 3rd. Much has happened since then. The best information comes from
http://www.oklegislature.gov/index.aspx. If you dig through on HB1796 you will see that Tibb's stunt may have backfired. After her open ballot version got to the house floor, house Republicans began ammending the bill by stripping out all the sections that require an open ballot essentially making it the bill most of us wanted like last year's version.
The voting other posters' mentioned and referred to on the first link in this thread was only a committee vote to get it to the house floor. All we need now is for everything to go just like it did last year except with a governor who had on her campaign site that she supported and would sign an Open Carry bill.
