From Confiscating Guns During Emergencies

(GunAuction.com) — Oklahoma's governor and other state officials would be prohibited from banning or confiscating firearms during a state of emergency under a bill recently signed into law by Gov. Mary Fallin.
The bill would prevent a recurrence of what happened in Louisiana, in which firearms were confiscated after Hurricane Katrina.
The new law, which takes effect Nov. 1, bars any state or local official from restricting the sale, possession, or transportation of firearms and ammunitions, even during a declared state of emergency. The measure amends the Oklahoma Riot Control and Prevention Act.
