Firearms; modifying scope of certain unlawful act. Effective date.

SB 123 amends Oklahoma's Self-Defense Act to clarify that carrying a handgun (concealed or unconcealed) under the Act with certain ammunition is prohibited. Specifically, it bans ammunition classified as a "restricted bullet" under state law, larger than .45 caliber, or otherwise prohibited by law. The bill removes the previous $500 administrative fine for violations, leaving only criminal penalties under Section 1272 of Oklahoma law. It directly affects individuals exercising their right to carry under the Self-Defense Act who use restricted ammunition. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
