998 signatures now. We should hit 1000 today! As posted above by Mike, it's time to push again. Tell everyone you know to visit the site and sign the petition.

Signed the OK petition.

That said: Online Petitions are in general a waste of Bandwidth and just a way to harvest e'mail addresses.

Have the organizers of this drive considered getting the Oklahoma State Rifle Association involved?

What about a letter writing campaign to our State Legislators and State Senators (not federal)?

My guess is unless TX passes OC our sheeply state won't. We seem to always be a year or so behind TX.

1,310 signatures and growing - are folks posting this around the state and fliering cars at gun shows? It'sd time to pour it on and get more recognition of this issue.

We now have over 3000 signatures! At this time, we actually have 3016. For comparison, Texas is at 26696. Additional trivia, according to quickfacts.census.gov, the 2006 estimated population of Oklahoma was 3579212, and Texas was 23507783. So, Texas has roughly 6.57 times our population, and 8.85 times our number of petition signatures. By percentage of state population that signed the petition, we aren't far below Texas. Let's close that gap (on signatures). If everyone who has signed got 2 more people to sign, we'd have over 9000 signatures. If those people then each got 2 more to sign, and so on, this could really take off. Please help spread the word!
