Firearms; modifying provisions of allowable carry at certain locations. Effective date.

SB 1713 modifies Oklahoma's gun carry laws by clarifying where concealed or open firearms are prohibited or permitted. It prohibits carrying firearms in government buildings, schools (except specific school parking areas), sports venues during events, and gambling facilities, while allowing carry in vehicle parking areas, parks, and school parking lots (with firearms stored hidden in vehicles when unattended). The bill requires private schools to adopt written policies to allow firearms on their property (with liability protection for the school) and permits school personnel with security licenses to carry handguns on school grounds. It also allows concealed carry in municipal zoos/parks owned by public trusts or nonprofits but prohibits open carry there. Violations carry fines up to $250.
