Bill > HB1476

This bill amends Oklahoma's existing firearms law by making a specific change to allow the carry of firearms at Lake Carl Blackwell in Payne County. The bill modifies Section 1277 of Title 21, which governs where firearms can and cannot be carried, by explicitly adding "any portion of Lake Carl Blackwell located in Payne County, Oklahoma" to the list of properties where firearms can be carried. This amendment means that individuals who previously might have been restricted from carrying firearms in this specific location will now be legally permitted to do so. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, giving ample time for local authorities and the public to be informed about the change. The modification appears to be a narrow, geographically specific adjustment to the existing comprehensive firearms carry regulations in Oklahoma, which already outline detailed provisions about where weapons can and cannot be carried in various public and private settings.
