Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Private investigators can carry on duty

Beginning November 1, 2025, a private investigator who holds the required firearms authorization may carry a firearm while working. Carry must be during the course and scope of employment.

Motorcycles count for locked-vehicle storage

Beginning November 1, 2025, motorcycles with a locked accessory container count as a locked motor vehicle for firearm storage on school or campus property. The firearm must be hidden from view and stored in the locked motorcycle container when the vehicle is unattended, where storage is otherwise allowed by law.

State buildings and parking: carry rules

Beginning November 1, 2025, the carry rules cover buildings and office space owned or leased by the state when used for public business. Property set aside for state vehicle parking is also covered. Licensed handgun holders follow the same lawful‑carry rules at these state locations.

City property: who may carry

Beginning November 1, 2025, a city or town may let licensed handgun holders carry concealed in most city‑owned or leased buildings. Police stations, courthouses, jails, detention areas, and places used to process or hold prisoners stay off‑limits. Cities, municipal trusts, and authorities can also mark other municipal buildings as firearm‑prohibited. Elected city officials and approved city employees with a valid Oklahoma handgun license may carry concealed while doing official work in municipal buildings in their jurisdiction. Concealed carry is allowed at municipal zoos or parks run by a public trust or certain nonprofits, but open carry there is not allowed.

Courthouses: who may carry on duty

Beginning November 1, 2025, listed district, associate district, and special judges with a valid handgun license may carry in courthouses within their jurisdiction while on duty. Elected county officials with a valid license may carry concealed in their county’s courthouses while working, but not in courtrooms. A county sheriff may allow certain licensed county employees to carry concealed in the courthouse and can require extra training; carrying is still barred in courtrooms, the sheriff’s office, and any jail or detention area. A county board may allow licensed county employees to carry concealed on county annex facilities or courthouse grounds within their job area. Municipal judges with a valid license may carry in municipal courthouses in their jurisdiction while on duty.
