Firearms; modifying scope of lawful carry. Effective date.

SB 858 modifies Oklahoma's firearms law to expand where individuals with valid handgun licenses may carry concealed or unconcealed weapons. It explicitly permits carry in government vehicle parking areas, school parking lots (with firearms stored hidden in locked vehicles when unattended), and municipal zoos/parks owned by public trusts or nonprofits (allowing concealed carry only). The bill also clarifies that private schools may adopt policies permitting weapon carry by licensed individuals, shielding them from liability for injuries under those policies. Additionally, it maintains restrictions in courthouses, schools (except as specified), gambling venues, and secured event properties, while defining minimum-security requirements for such events.
