OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma's Republican Gov. Mary Fallin vetoed a bill late Friday that would have authorized adults to carry firearms without a permit or training, dealing a rare defeat to the National Rifle Association in a conservative state.





The veto comes after opposition from the business community and law enforcement authorities, including top officials with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation who have said it could erode public safety.

The NRA had supported the bill's passage and had urged Fallin to sign it.

In a statement announcing her veto, Fallin stressed her support for the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms and noted she had signed concealed and open carry measures in the past.

doesn't the OK house have a supermajority to override her veto? If so what was the point of this?

How did this defeat the NRA?

I feel so much safer now

I love it when politicians infringe on gun rights and in the same sentence proclaim their support for the Second Amendment.

We are safer now. Those damn Founding Fathers had no idea what they were talking about. They apparently suffered from dementia. But we can feel safe in the short term now. /sarcasm As if.

If she wants her constituents to 'feel' really safe, she should try to outlaw carry, firearms, and shoulder thingies that go up, like NJ and CA. [sarc]

The legislature has adjourned and will not be able to address this until after the next election.
