Bill > SB692

This bill removes references to "metal knuckles" from several sections of Oklahoma weapons law, specifically amending Sections 1272, 1277, and 1287 of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The changes systematically delete the term "metal knuckles" from lists of prohibited weapons and offensive devices, effectively decriminalizing or deregulating their possession. The bill does not add new substantive restrictions or permissions regarding weapons, but instead serves as a technical update to existing statutory language. The amendments touch on various contexts including unlawful carry provisions, restrictions on carrying weapons in certain public spaces, and penalties for possessing weapons while committing a felony. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025, providing ample time for law enforcement and legal professionals to prepare for the statutory changes. While the bill appears to be primarily a housekeeping measure to remove an outdated term, it represents a minor but precise modification to Oklahoma's weapons regulations.
