Firearms; prohibiting carry at certain locations during an election. Effective date.
SB 512 amends Oklahoma law to prohibit carrying firearms within 300 feet of any polling place during elections. This directly affects voters, election workers, and others near polling locations on election days. The bill adds this restriction to existing prohibitions on carrying firearms in places like courthouses and schools. It does not change other existing firearm carry rules but creates a new 300-foot buffer zone around polling sites during election operations. The provision applies to all firearms, concealed or unconcealed, and violations may result in a $250 fine.
