Firearms; modifying provisions related to unlawful carry. Effective date.

SB 1527 amends Oklahoma's unlawful carry laws to clarify where concealed or unconcealed firearms may be carried. It allows firearms on government parking lots, school parking areas (with firearms stored locked in vehicles when unattended), and certain parks/zoo properties, while maintaining restrictions at courthouses, schools (except where policies permit), and gambling venues. The bill requires private schools to adopt specific policies authorizing firearm carry on their property and permits school personnel with security licenses to carry on school grounds. Violations of the new rules carry a maximum $250 fine for certain offenses, though most violations primarily result in denied entry or removal from the property.
