Understanding Oklahoma City's Firearm Laws
Oklahoma City has not passed local gun control legislation. This means that residents and visitors must follow firearm laws set by the state of Oklahoma and the federal government. From open carry laws to restrictions on certain types of weapons, it's crucial to understand the rules to avoid facing serious criminal charges.
Keep these key points in mind:
- Open Carry: Oklahoma generally allows open carry of firearms without a permit, except in prohibited places.
- Concealed Carry: Oklahoma is a "shall-issue" state for concealed carry permits; if you meet the requirements, the state must issue you a permit.
- Constitutional Carry: Oklahoma’s constitutional carry law allows eligible individuals to carry concealed firearms without a permit — however, this law has restrictions and potential pitfalls.
- Private Sales: You are not allowed to knowingly sell a firearm to a minor or to anyone who is prohibited from owning a gun.
- Prohibited Weapons: Short-barreled rifles are generally illegal to possess in Oklahoma, and federal laws place restrictions on automatic firearm ownership.
- Prohibited Places: It is illegal to carry firearms in schools, government buildings, and bars; private property owners can also ban weapons from their premises.
While they seem simple on the surface, it’s easy to run afoul of Oklahoma gun laws. If you’re accused of violating these laws, you need a lawyer familiar with the most up-to-date legislation regarding firearms in Oklahoma.
