Firearms; prohibiting certain persons from using, purchasing, or possessing firearms; effective date.

HB 1072 amends Oklahoma law to prohibit individuals convicted of domestic violence offenses (both misdemeanors and felonies) from using, purchasing, or possessing firearms. This directly affects people with domestic violence convictions, including those who have been issued handgun licenses under the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act. The bill adds domestic violence offenders to existing prohibitions covering felons, probationers, delinquent youth, and undocumented aliens, making it unlawful for them to have firearms in their possession, vehicles, or residences. Violations are punishable as felonies, and license holders who allow prohibited individuals to possess firearms face license revocation. The law takes effect November 1, 2025.
