Oklahoma Administrative Code
Title 1 - EXECUTIVE ORDERS
Section 1:2015-35

Yesterday in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a terrorist opened f ire on a military recruiting center and a Navy Operational Support Center and Marine Corps Reserve Center. Four Marines were murdered by this depraved and cowardly killer. Unfortunately, this kind of targeted, violent at tack against our military personnel is becoming increasingly common; there have been at least eight major assaults on military sites since 2009. We must take every action to ensure that our servicemen and women are appropriately protected from potential assailants.

Accordingly, I, Mary Fallin, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, by the authority vested in me pursuant to Sections 2 and 6 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution, hereby authorize the State Adjutant General to arm certain full-time military personnel on military installations throughout Oklahoma with weaponry as he deems necessary to adequately provide for the security of the facilities and their occupants. Such installations shall include, but not be limited to, military recruiting offices.

This Executive Order shall be distributed to the State Adjutant General, who shall cause the provisions of this Order to be implemented.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 17th day of July, 2015.

BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA

Mary Fallin
