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

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