Oklahoma Self-Defense Act; modifying definitions. Effective date.

SB 1676 amends Oklahoma's Self-Defense Act by clarifying key definitions related to firearms and licensing. It defines terms like "concealed firearm" (not visibly carried), "unconcealed firearm" (visible carry), and specifies that "pistol" does not include imitation weapons or specialized firearms like flare guns. The bill also standardizes that all firearms referenced in the act may be collectively called "firearms." This definition update directly affects individuals applying for handgun licenses and those invoking the Self-Defense Act in legal contexts. The changes take effect November 1, 2026.
