Bill > SB1691

This bill modifies the scope of unlawful firearm carry in Oklahoma by removing a prohibition on carrying firearms in certain secured event locations, specifically those with a metallic-style security fence at least eight feet high, controlled access points staffed by a uniformed peace officer, and a metal detector. The bill also clarifies that firearms are permitted in certain public parking areas and on property adjacent to buildings where firearms are prohibited, and it specifies that private schools may adopt policies to allow licensed individuals to carry firearms on their property or in school transportation. Additionally, the bill allows concealed carry of handguns, but not open carry, at municipal zoos or parks managed by public trusts or nonprofit entities, and it provides exceptions for certain law enforcement and elected officials carrying firearms within courthouses, with specific restrictions on entering courtrooms or detention areas. The bill also addresses firearm carry on college, university, and technology center school property, outlining conditions under which it is permitted and potential consequences for violations, and it defines "motor vehicle" for the purposes of firearm storage. This legislation is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
