Firearms; modifying scope of unlawful carry. Effective date.

SB 782 modifies Oklahoma's firearm carry laws by allowing concealed carry of handguns on fairgrounds during the Oklahoma State Fair and Tulsa State Fair, and authorizing event holders to permit open carry of lawful firearms at these events. It creates exceptions for private schools that adopt written policies permitting firearm possession by licensed individuals, and permits school personnel with specific security licenses to carry handguns on public school property under designated policies. The bill also updates definitions for "minimum-security" areas (like fenced properties with metal detectors) to clarify where concealed carry is permitted, while maintaining prohibitions in courthouses, schools (except under specific policies), and gambling venues. These changes directly affect licensed gun owners, schools, event organizers, and government facilities.
