Firearms; modifying scope of lawful carry of firearms. Effective date.

SB 446 modifies Oklahoma's firearm carry laws by allowing concealed handgun carry on fairgrounds during the Oklahoma State Fair or Tulsa State Fair, and authorizes event holders to permit open carry of lawful firearms at these events. It updates school policies, permitting private schools to adopt written policies allowing weapon carry on property (with liability protection for the school) and enabling school districts to authorize designated staff with security licenses to carry on school grounds. The bill also clarifies that certain public property used for events without minimum-security measures (like metal detectors and officer-staffed entry) may allow concealed handgun carry, while maintaining existing prohibitions in places like courthouses, schools (except under specific policies), and gambling venues. These changes take effect upon passage.
