Firearms; prohibiting the carry of firearms into certain places; effective date.

HB 2822 modifies Oklahoma's firearm carry laws by prohibiting concealed or unconcealed firearms in specific locations, including government buildings, courthouses, schools (except under certain policies), sports venues during events, and gambling facilities. The bill explicitly allows concealed carry on fairgrounds and in fair buildings during the Oklahoma State Fair and Tulsa State Fair, authorizing event holders to permit open carry. It also permits private schools to adopt policies allowing firearms if they establish such rules, and gives school districts authority to designate personnel with proper licenses to carry on school property. The law updates existing restrictions under the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act while maintaining key exceptions for vehicle parking areas and public parks.
