HB 3181 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Firearms; deleting prohibition on certain type of ammunition; effective date.

HB 3181 removes two specific restrictions on ammunition for handgun users under Oklahoma's Self-Defense Act. It deletes prohibitions against carrying "restricted bullets" (as defined elsewhere in law) and ammunition larger than .45 caliber when legally carrying a handgun. This change directly affects individuals exercising their right to carry under the Self-Defense Act by allowing them to use those previously restricted ammunition types. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2026.
