HB 3094 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Firearms; authorizing certain persons to carry concealed handguns into State Capitol building; effective date.

HB 3094 amends Oklahoma law to allow licensed handgun carriers to bring concealed handguns into the State Capitol Building. Specifically, it adds the Capitol to the list of locations where individuals with a valid Oklahoma handgun license may carry concealed firearms, provided they present the license at a security checkpoint. This change directly affects licensed handgun owners entering the Capitol, overriding previous restrictions that prohibited concealed carry in state government buildings. The bill does not alter concealed carry rules for other locations like schools, courthouses, or public venues, which remain restricted under existing law.
