Firearms; authorizing the carry of firearms at certain location; effective date.
HB 1476 amends Oklahoma's firearms law to allow licensed gun owners to carry concealed or unconcealed weapons in specific locations previously restricted, including government-owned parking areas (Section B.1), private school parking lots when firearms are locked in vehicles (Section B.5), and municipal zoos/parks owned by public trusts or nonprofits (Section E). It maintains prohibitions on carrying in courthouses, schools (except under private school policies or designated staff), gambling venues, and secured event properties. The bill also creates new allowances for school personnel with specific licenses to carry on school property (Section D) and limits penalties for violations to $250 fines or property removal. This directly affects licensed gun owners, school districts, private schools, and public venues like parks and zoos.
