Oklahoma

Oklahoma's 'Constitutional Carry Act of 2019' (SB 2), effective Nov 1, 2019, added 21 O.S. §1290.26 allowing anyone 21+ (18+ active-duty/honorably-discharged military) who can legally possess a firearm to carry openly or concealed without a license. I was unable to load an official Oklahoma statute site directly this session (repeated DNS/cert/404 errors); this is based on consistent, detailed secondary reporting rather than fetched primary text.

Oklahoma has no statute prohibiting firearms in places of worship; carry there is left to the property owner's discretion.

21 O.S. §§ 1272 and 1290.5 bar carry only where serving alcohol is the establishment's primary purpose (a bar); carry is allowed in an establishment like a restaurant where alcohol service is secondary to food. This is corroborated by a well-sourced tertiary summary citing those sections; I was not able to independently fetch the raw statute text to double-check the exact wording.

Oklahoma has statewide permitless carry for qualifying adults 21+ (18 for military) under the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act, alongside an optional handgun license issued by OSBI mainly for reciprocity. No boat/vessel/waterway restriction was found in Oklahoma carry law.

21 O.S. §1277 makes it unlawful for anyone, including a valid handgun license holder, to carry into either a 'government building' (any city/town/county/state/federal structure or office space used to conduct business with the public) or a courthouse. The only exception is a narrow one letting a sheriff authorize specific county employees to carry in non-courtroom courthouse areas while on duty — it does not extend to the public generally.

Okla. Stat. tit. 21, § 1277(G): a handgun license does NOT authorize carrying onto college/university/technology-center property by default, except (1) inside a vehicle in campus parking, (2) where the institution's own policy affirmatively authorizes it, or (3) with the written consent of the college/university president. Default is prohibited unless the specific school opts in.

21 O.S. § 1290.22 lets a property owner prohibit firearms by posted or verbal notice; absent that notice, carry is presumptively lawful.

No OK statute requires advance owner consent; general trespass law (21 O.S. 1835) requires notice before presence becomes unlawful (opt-out default). Constitutional-carry state.

No Oklahoma source I found lists airports among restricted locations for the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act (usacarry.com's list: government buildings, schools, prisons, sports arenas, and establishments where alcohol is the primary business). No statute or second source addresses airports specifically.

Oklahoma has had permitless carry since November 1, 2019, for anyone 21+ (18+ military) who is not otherwise prohibited — loaded or unloaded handgun carry in a vehicle for self-defense or other legitimate purposes needs no license.

Oklahoma's prohibited-places statute (Okla. Stat. tit. 21 §1277 and related sections) does not include hospitals.

Oklahoma is permitless-carry. Its location restrictions center on schools (with a locked-vehicle exception), courthouses, and detention facilities; no rest-area restriction was found, though I was unable to load the primary statute text directly (repeated site errors) and am relying on a secondary summary (NRA-ILA) for the specifics.

21 Okla. Stat. § 1290.8: a carrier must display identification "on demand by a law enforcement officer," but "no person is required to identify himself or herself as lawfully in possession of any... firearm if the law enforcement officer does not demand the information." Purely reactive.

21 O.S. § 1290.9: applicant must have "established residency in the State of Oklahoma," with an explicit exception allowing military members with permanent orders in Oklahoma to qualify using an out-of-state driver's license. No other non-resident route.

Okla. Stat. tit. 21 §1280.1(A) bans firearms on any public or private K-12 property. A license holder's only path onto school property is if it's a PRIVATE school whose governing entity has adopted a policy authorizing it (§1280.1(C)) — public schools have no such option for ordinary citizens, only designated armed personnel under specific board-approved programs.

I believe Oklahoma's Self-Defense Act framework treats carrying past a posted sign as not independently criminal, with refusal to leave after being asked being what creates a trespassing offense — matching the pattern many 'constitutional carry' states adopted — but I could not fetch statutory text (attempts to reach 21 O.S. provisions and a Wikipedia summary both failed to surface this) to confirm it live in this session.

21 Okla. Stat. § 1289.24: the legislature "occupies and preempts the entire field" of firearms legislation to the complete exclusion of municipalities/political subdivisions. Cities may regulate discharge only.

No Oklahoma statute found prohibiting firearms at polling places. Based on MAP research; not independently verified against Oklahoma's own statute.

No state-level magazine capacity restriction found.

No state ERPO/red flag law. Oklahoma was the first state to affirmatively ban red flag laws (2020 law barring the state or any city/county from enacting or enforcing ERPOs or accepting related funding).

21 O.S. § 1289.18 makes SBR/SBS possession a felony but states the section 'shall not apply to any firearm that is lawfully possessed under federal law or that is otherwise not regulated as a firearm pursuant to the National Firearms Act' — an outright exclusion. No Oklahoma statute specifically criminalizing suppressor or machine-gun possession at the state level could be located, corroborated by multiple secondary sources stating Oklahoma imposes no state-level restriction on NFA items beyond ordinary felon-in-possession rules. Primary-source access was partially blocked, so confidence is slightly lower than other 'yes' states.

Stand Your Ground by statute: Okla. Stat. tit. 21, § 1289.25(D) (Oklahoma Self-Defense Act) — no duty to retreat.

No Oklahoma statute requires background checks on private firearm transfers. Confirmed via absence from Giffords' UBC list.
