Bill > HB3301

This bill amends the Oklahoma Firearms Act of 1971 and related laws to clarify definitions and expand lawful firearm possession. Specifically, it updates the definitions of "rifles" and "shotguns" to include references to the "Oklahoma Self-Defense Act" and adjusts the minimum barrel length for shotguns to eighteen inches or more, while also specifying that overall firearm length can compensate for a shorter barrel. The bill removes the definitions of "sawed-off shotgun" and "sawed-off rifle" and reclassifies the unlawful possession of a shotgun or rifle not in compliance with these updated definitions as a misdemeanor, with penalties including a fine or jail time, instead of a felony. Importantly, it establishes that it is lawful to own or possess a firearm or suppressor if it is legally owned under federal law, specifically referencing the National Firearms Act, and clarifies that the term "firearm" in these acts does not include "antique firearms" as defined by federal law. This bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
