Oklahoma Gov. Stitt could sign or veto ‘anti-red flag’ law that may be first in the nation

Gov. Kevin Stitt has until Thursday to sign or veto legislation to preempt Oklahoma localities from implementing so-called “red flag” policies.

A spokeswoman for Gov. Kevin Stitt said he has not yet signed Senate Bill 1081, which would preempt Oklahoma localities from implementing “red flag” gun policies. An error on the state Legislature’s website appeared to indicate otherwise. Stitt has until Thursday to take action.

The bill from Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, and Rep. Jay Steagall, R-Yukon, was one of the last measures Oklahoma’s Legislature advanced Friday before adjourning.

Senate Bill 1081 prevents Oklahoma cities and towns from enacting policies that would allow a court or other entity to restrict gun access to people deemed to be an imminent danger.

Steagall said this is the nation’s first “anti-red flag” law.

Can it become law if he doesn't either sign or veto?  Is the Legislature still in session?
