Bill No. 2818 amends various sections of the Oklahoma firearms laws, specifically addressing the unlawful pointing of firearms and the associated penalties. The bill clarifies that it is unlawful to point a firearm at another person, but it provides exceptions for individuals acting in self-defense or for home or business owners defending their property, regardless of whether they possess a valid handgun license. The bill also removes the mandatory minimum sentencing option for violations and eliminates the requirement for revocation of handgun licenses for those convicted under these provisions.

Additionally, the bill expands the circumstances under which individuals may use physical or deadly force, including the defensive display of firearms. It establishes that a person is justified in using defensive force if they reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm, and it outlines specific situations where this presumption applies. The legislation also defines terms related to defensive force and clarifies that individuals using such force are immune from criminal prosecution and civil action. An emergency clause is included, allowing the bill to take effect immediately upon passage.
