Bill > HB3097

This bill modifies Oklahoma law regarding the carrying of handguns by individuals with a valid handgun license, primarily by removing the distinction between "concealed" and "unconcealed" handguns in many contexts and allowing for open carry of a handgun by individuals 21 years or older if the firearm is partially visible in a holster or similar carrying device, with certain restrictions. It also clarifies rules for carrying firearms on school property, including allowing designated school personnel with specific certifications to carry handguns, and permits individuals with valid handgun licenses from other states to carry in Oklahoma. The bill also makes technical changes to various sections of existing law related to firearms possession and licensing, including updating references and definitions within the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act.
