House Bill No. 2818 amends various sections of the Oklahoma firearms laws, specifically addressing the unlawful pointing of firearms and the use of defensive force. The bill clarifies that it is unlawful to point a firearm at another person, but provides exceptions for individuals acting in self-defense or for property defense, regardless of whether they possess a valid handgun license. It also removes the mandatory minimum sentencing for violations of this law and eliminates the requirement for revoking handgun licenses upon conviction. Additionally, the bill expands the circumstances under which individuals may use physical or deadly force, including the defensive display of firearms.

The legislation further defines terms related to defensive force and establishes that individuals using such force in specified situations are immune from criminal prosecution and civil action. It emphasizes the right of citizens to feel safe in their homes and places of business, and outlines the conditions under which defensive force is justified. The bill also includes provisions for the defensive display of firearms, detailing what constitutes such a display and the circumstances under which it is permissible. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage.
