The Oklahoma Senate on Wednesday night passed the so-called “Constitutional Carry” gun bill in a 33-9 vote. The bill, which passed the state’s House of Representatives about a week ago, will now be presented to Republican Gov. Fallin plans to sign the bill, though Rep. Shane Stone, D-Okla., who voted against the bill when it went through the House, previously told Fox News he doesn't expect Fallin to veto it. Supporters of the bill argue it protects a gun owner’s right to self defense, adding that it would eliminate the costly permit process. Oklahoma could possibly join some 11 states that have already passed similar laws, according to the National Rifle Association (NRA).
