Firearms; authorizing the carry of concealed handguns at polling places; effective date.

HB 1259 allows eligible individuals to carry concealed handguns at polling places during elections in Oklahoma. It specifically permits people aged 21 or older, or those aged 18-20 who are current or former U.S. military members/veterans with honorable discharge, to carry concealed firearms if they are not disqualified from firearm possession under state or federal law. This amendment modifies existing laws by adding polling places to the list of locations where concealed carry is permitted under these conditions, removing them from the general prohibition on firearms in such venues. The bill does not change broader concealed carry rules but creates a specific exception for polling places during elections.
