Bill > SB416

This bill modifies the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act by changing the restrictions on ammunition for handguns. Specifically, the bill removes the prohibition on handguns loaded with ammunition larger than .45 caliber, while maintaining the existing restriction on "restricted bullets" as defined in another section of Oklahoma law. Under the amended law, carrying a handgun with prohibited ammunition would still be considered a violation of the Self-Defense Act, potentially resulting in criminal prosecution and an administrative fine of $500, which can be imposed by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation after a hearing and determination of violation. The changes aim to slightly expand the types of ammunition that can be legally carried under the state's self-defense regulations, with the modifications set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
