The bill amends Oklahoma laws concerning the carrying of firearms, specifically outlining where individuals can legally carry concealed or unconcealed firearms. It modifies the list of prohibited places, allowing exceptions for carrying firearms into certain public buildings and fairgrounds during events like the Oklahoma State Fair or the Tulsa State Fair. The bill also grants event holders the authority to permit open carry of firearms during these events and allows public trusts and nonprofit entities to allow open carry on their properties. Additionally, it updates statutory language and removes certain prohibitions related to carrying firearms in public buildings and at events, while clarifying the rights of property owners to regulate firearms on their premises.

Moreover, the bill introduces new provisions regarding firearms on private property, establishing that individuals informed of a firearms prohibition who refuse to leave may face misdemeanor charges and fines. It provides immunity from liability for property owners and employers regarding their decisions to allow or prohibit firearms, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The legislation also clarifies that allowing employees to carry weapons does not fall within their job description and maintains that individuals can seek damages for losses due to weapon discharge outside the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
