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. Mary Fallin for a signature.

It's not yet clear if 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.

Gov. Fallin declined to say whether or not she plans to sign the bill, a spokesperson told Fox News, adding that Fallin does not typically comment on pending legislation "until after the final version reaches the governor's office, and she and her staff have a chance to review it."

If signed into law, the legislation would allow handgun owners in the state to carry without first obtaining a license.

Supporters of the bill argue it protects a gun owner's right to self defense, adding that it would eliminate the costly permit process.
