This bill amends the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act by modifying the definition of "unconcealed firearm" or "open carry." The new language specifies that an unconcealed firearm is one that is carried upon the person where it is visible, or carried using a holster, scabbard,
or sling
or case. This change clarifies the acceptable methods of carrying a firearm in a visible manner.
Additionally, the bill maintains existing definitions for "completed application," "concealed firearm," "pistol or handgun," "rifle," and "shotgun," ensuring consistency with previous sections of the law. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
