Firearms; prohibiting the carry of firearms into certain places; effective date.

HB 3302 prohibits carrying both open and concealed firearms in specific locations across Oklahoma, including government buildings, courthouses, schools (except under limited policies), sports venues during events, gambling facilities, and most secured public events. Exceptions allow concealed carry in school parking lots (with firearms locked in vehicles), on fairgrounds during the Oklahoma State Fair or Tulsa State Fair (with open carry permitted at these events), and in certain parking areas. The bill modifies existing law to clarify prohibited locations and explicitly permits open carry at state fairs with event holder authorization, while requiring minimum security measures (like fences, officer-staffed entry, and metal detectors) for public events where firearms remain banned. It directly affects residents, visitors, and event attendees who carry firearms in these designated areas.
