House Bill 1243 has passed the Oklahoma Legislature and is now heading to Governor Brad Henry’s (D) desk for his signature. HB 1243 provides employers and employees legal protection if a gun is taken from an employee’s vehicle and used to commit a crime. NRA-ILA would like to give special thanks to Representative Greg Piatt (R-48) for his dedication and persistence. We would also like to thank Senator Jay Paul Gumm (D-6) the Senate sponsor, with final thanks to Speaker Todd Hiett (R-29) and Senate Pro Tempore Mike Morgan (D-21), for bringing the bill to the floor for its final vote. Please call Governor Henry at (405) 521-2342 and respectfully ask him to sign HB 1243.
