This bill amends several sections of the Oklahoma Firearms Act of 1971, specifically 21 O.S. 2021, Sections 1289.4, 1289.5, and 1289.18. Key changes include the addition of references to the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act in the definitions of "rifles" and "shotguns." The definitions of "sawed-off shotgun" and "sawed-off rifle" are deleted, along with the associated penalties for possession of these firearms. Instead, the bill establishes that it is lawful to own or possess any firearm that is legally possessed under federal law or is not regulated as a "firearm" or "suppressor" under the National Firearms Act.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the term "firearm" does not include "antique firearms" as defined in federal law. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2026. Overall, the bill aims to streamline definitions related to firearms and align state law with federal regulations regarding lawful ownership and possession.
