Does anyone know if there is a way to verify if you have already signed? I can't remember if I did or not and 3,280 signatures is allot to scan through.
The petition-hosting site sends confirmation email to you when you sign the petition. After that, I know of no way to confirm that you have signed other than scanning the signatures.

I am forming an Open Carry Working Group (at Mike's suggestion). The Online
Petition does NOT collect email addresses for me. If you are interested in
participating, please email me at russcook@mbo.net .

Thanks,
Russ

I don't know if there are any pro-gun business owners out there that you could employ. I talk to my customers daily(as many as will listen) and have now signed about a hundred (estimated) through my contacts.
Most didn't know the petition existed or that open carry was even disallowed. Word of mouth has always been the best advertising, if you can make contacts with the same interests and devotion as you seem to have. Lately you are running a one man show.
Keep up the good fight, eternal vigilance is the price for freedom.:celebrate

Reply from Representative Mike Ritze, Sponsor of HB1414 to decriminalize open carry in the state of Oklahoma, to my phone call and email this morning ...

Mr. Cook,

Thank you very much for this...please contact Public Safety Committee Chair Rep. Sue Tibbs Tulsa who is refusing to hear my bill. Also, please contact the OK House and Senate to hear this bill! Our 2nd Amendment demands this for all of our citizens! God Bless You...Mike

Hello all. I just joined this site after seeing a comment on another site about Oklahoma possibly having an open carry law passed. I signed the petition and also forwarded it to several others whom I know will be interested, including my father. This is great and any right gained is better than another lost. Look forward to helping see this through.

I am on my second concealed license, this one good til 2018. Having recently moved here from California in 2002, I find this a refreshing state to live in. I resided in CA for 26 years and saw rights constantly takne away. Worse is in CA there is no preemption, so you never know from one city to another what is okay.

If there are any meetings to attend, or such, please send me that information.

Robert,

Thanks for signing! Please see links above to get contact information for your Representative and Senator, and solicit their sponsorship of this measure. Also, be sure to contact Representative SueTibbs and let her know we want this bill to make its way out of committee. I understand she is currently NOT letting it be heard.

Thanks for your support!
