Firearms; authorizing the carry of firearms on certain designated property; effective date.
HB 2819 modifies Oklahoma's firearms law to allow concealed or unconcealed carry on specific properties previously restricted. It authorizes carry on government-owned vehicle parking areas (Section 1B1), public streets/plazas (1B4), and school parking lots when firearms are stored hidden in locked vehicles (1B5). The bill also permits concealed carry in municipal parks/zoo properties owned by public trusts or nonprofits, with open carry requiring permission (Section E). It maintains prohibitions in courthouses, schools (except as specified), and gambling venues, while adding conditions for private schools (Section C) and school personnel carry (Section D). The law does not alter general carry rules but expands permitted locations with defined safeguards.
