There is an error above. OSBI processes and issues the licenses. Initial submission is taken to local sheriff and you are then fingerprinted, but it goes on to OSBI.
Can you clarify the laws for concealed or open carry for military members? I do not see anything in here about that and I have found conflicting information. Some say I’m free to conceal carry with just my military ID. Others say I need to have an Oklahoma driver’s license as well?
How about places where liquor are sold, like restaurants ?
The rule is 51% —if a restaurant’s/business revenue is 51% or more then you cannot carry, if less, then you can. However, there are prohibitions about being intoxicated as well.
51% from alcohol sales then no; if less than 51% of alcohol sales then okay.
Going to visit OK Havre TX permit What places are statutorily off limits? Hotels? Horse track?
Thanks
Now that Oklahoma has passed Constitutional carry, how often is your site updated?
Doesn’t go into effect until Nov 1, 2019
So since im not felon and i had been charged for a gun before all this and plead gulity to it and had it misdermeters can i get a gun if it expunged
Are you able to both Conceal and Open Carry with a Oklahoma CCW permit?
YES, IT COVERS BOTH. AS OF NOVEMBER 1ST. 2019 OKLAHOMA RESIDENTS WILL NO LONGER REQUIRE A CARRY PERMIT TO CONCEALED OR OPEN CARRY. CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY WAS SIGNED INTO LAW 02.27.2019
Wrong. It was passsd but they can not conceal it. It’s strictly open carry.
With permit-less carry passing, you can conceal carry as well.
I live in Missouri and I read somewhere that Oklahoma will honor my constitutional carry as long as I have a valid id. Is that true? I lost the link and can’t find any info on it anywhere else.
Yes it is. However, I always recommend checking with the Law Enforcement Agency responsible for CCW in the state you’re traveling to. Here in Oklahoma, that’s the OSBI:

Can we now open carry without a permit?
Yes. It cleared house vote last night
As long as you legally own that firearm. You do not need training and/or a permit to open carry.
No it’s not a law yet don’t listen Cameron. He’s from MDA and is trying to get you arrested.
Not until November 1st of this year. It will become a law then. As long as you’re not a felon you will be able to open carry. Don’t listen to Cameron. It is not a law yet. 8 more months then you’ll be aloud to do so.
Is it legal to have shotgun shells in arm rest and unloaded shotgun(opened shaft) in the truck
This was dated September 16, 2018. ” Except where otherwise permitted by law, Oklahoma prohibits the transportation of a loaded handgun, rifle or shotgun in a “landborne” motor vehicle over a public highway or roadway. However, any person (except a convicted felon) may transport a rifle or shotgun clip or magazine loaded (not chamber loaded) if it is in an exterior locked compartment of the vehicle, in the trunk, or in the interior compartment of the vehicle. Any person (except a convicted felon) May transport a rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle if the firearm is concealed behind a… Read more »
My wife did her CHL training in texas but we’re residents of oklahoma. Can she get her oklahoma CHL issued with her texas training certification?
TX and OK have reciprocity so she can use hers there but she can’t get her CHL there unless she takes the class over. This was based on early 2018 laws.
So I see that it says you can’t carry in WMA but I talked to a local game warden and he said as long as you have a license you can
I have a license out of TX. Can I still carry with one in the chamber?
Yes. Oklahoma honors TX CCW. And, why would you NOT have one in the chamber?
Coming to visit my son in Okla. I live in Ga. I do have a CCW for the state of Ga. Will I be braking the law if I visit and have it in my vehicle.
each state shares and honors arcoss boader CCW
There are a few exceptions, Massachusetts does not accept Oklahoma nor does California. Be sure to do your research before traveling.
Oklahoma does honor GA’s CCW. Remember to notify officers immediately and carry your CCW license while carrying.
Going to move to Oklahoma in 6 months or so, Will a retired police ID qualify as an exemption?
Contact CLEET (Council on Law Enforcement, Education, and Training) about getting a retired law enforcement officer permit. I have one.
Barry you might look into LEOSA as well. According to LEOSA, as long as you meet the qualifications as either active Law Enforcement or Retired Law Enforcement, you are allowed by federal law to carry concealed in any state or jurisdiction, irregardless of any local or state law. I would, however, be mindful of NJ and their ‘interpretation’ of LEOSA, lol.
Is Oklahoma a state that requires a serial number on the handgun
I believe that it’s extremely illegal to have any firearm with no S/N on it in every state
Hum, there are homebrew firearms made from plastic that don’t require a serial number.
80% lowers do not require a serial number. However, once it is capable of firing ammunition, you are required by federal law to get a SN issued for that weapon.
It is my understanding that a home made gun does not require a serial number. I’m not talking about a receiver you order online and build in to a gun, I’m talking about a home made gun.
https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/does-individual-need-license-make-firearm-personal-use
No, a license is not required to make a firearm solely for personal use. However, a license is required to manufacture firearms for sale or distribution. The law prohibits a person from assembling a non–sporting semiautomatic rifle or shotgun from 10 or more imported parts, as well as firearms that cannot be detected by metal detectors or x–ray machines. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and advance approval by ATF.

Wrong
It’s a federal law to have a SN on a handgun.
I have a CCW permit from North Carolina, is that considered to be “permit/license” to carry loaded in a vehicle?
Yes
Does anyone know if I can get a permit in Oklahoma at Page Firearms? Are they still open? I called and nobody answered.. http://pagefirearmstrainingllc.com/
OK CCW law is racist, all other states in the lower 48 permit Green Card holders to have a CCW. The handful of legal permanent residents in the USA are more heavily vetted than FBI agents; I will just bring my Tennessee permit with me. Mary Fallin may be a RINO, very endangered species in US politics; suggest y’all vote for Bernie, at least he is an honest communist
Does anyone want anyone out there that doesn’t have any clue as to what they are doing w/a gun to be carrying? I believe that a training course should be in place. Something that proves that that person has had training on that particular gun & the laws that one should know. If this was a part of that bill, just maybe Fallin would have signed. W/o any training, that law would have been stupid to start with in the first place! I’m still in wonder that others would want dumb &/or ignorant people carrying a handgun? REALLY? To know… Read more »
Shall not be infringed, these people making unconstitutional laws are the enemy within. They will dismantle our democracy as soon as they take our guns via a registration list. They need to be smoked out of their hiding places within our free people’s government, identified and never be allowed to be in politics again. Make it a crime to enact laws that are unconstitutional, a felony so they can never be elected again.
Last I checked we have a Republic. Not a Democracy. Do some research on the difference
The Government we have is a Democracy, did you not Vote. If Hillary Clinton were to become President some day, then you can say we have a Republic.
Apparently you didn’t do the research. David is correct; we are and have been a Constitutional Republic since the Constitution was signed and put into effect. You are also incorrect about Hillary Clinton; she would have tried to form a dictatorship.
Isn’t dictatorship what we have with donald
Obama was the dictator who ruled through presidential fiat (executive order) whenever he could. Donald’s been taking away Obama’s dumb executive orders and taking government restrictions off our backs. It doesn’t get any less dictatorial than that.
Umm, no. Are you allowed to go to work & keep your wages? YES Is there a time that you must be inside? NO Can the government come & move in w/o your permission? NO Are you still allowed to own weapons? YES Do you still have the ability to make comments like you did? YES = PRETTY FAR OFF FROM A DICTATORSHIP!
Nah that’s just straight sheer hell!
That isn’t racist at all. The law applies equally to all persons of all races who do not have citizenship. England, Somalia, Nicaragua, Russia, China…if you aren’t a citizen, then you’re not getting issued a CCW permit.
Anyone notice how the definition of racism is constantly misconstrued?
Did Oklahoma just pass a Constitutional Carry Law? Im asking on 26April 2018.
The bill must be approved by the Senate next week and then Mary Fallin must sign it before it becomes law. (as for today)
What is the process to overturn Fallin’s veto?
It is now waiting the Governors signature.
If the Governor signs it, it may not be immediately a law so you need to check the effective date on this when she signs it
If she signs it the new rule will go into effect Nov. 1
It was vetoed
It was vetoed
no, Fallin vetoed, you will be able to get a tax payer funded abortion though
