Firearms; prohibiting courts from abridging a person's right to possess a firearm. Effective date.

SB 1665 prohibits Oklahoma courts from restricting a person’s right to purchase, possess, carry, or conceal a firearm. It requires courts to return firearms seized during a misdemeanor arrest or conviction once the case concludes, unless the firearm was used in the crime. The bill directly affects individuals arrested for misdemeanors who have firearms confiscated by law enforcement. It takes effect on November 1, 2026, and would be codified in Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1290.28 of Title 21.
