The bill amends Oklahoma laws concerning the carrying of firearms, specifically outlining where individuals can carry concealed or unconcealed firearms. It modifies the list of prohibited places, allowing exceptions for concealed carry in certain public buildings and fairgrounds during events like the Oklahoma State Fair and the Tulsa State Fair. The legislation also permits event holders to allow open carry during specific events and grants public trusts and nonprofit entities the authority to permit open carry on their properties. Additionally, it clarifies the rights of business owners and property managers to control firearms on their premises, ensuring they can prohibit firearms but cannot prevent individuals from transporting them in locked vehicles. Property owners must post clear signage if they choose to restrict concealed or unconcealed carry.

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 a misdemeanor charge with a fine of up to $250. It provides immunity from liability for property owners and employers regarding the carrying of weapons on their premises, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The bill also 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 discharges outside the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
