Gov. Mary Fallin signed Senate Bill 1733 into law Tuesday, allowing citizen's of Oklahoma to openly carry firearms.
The bill permits licensed individuals to openly carry a weapon or
conceal it. It also allows property owners to openly carry a firearm on
their property without a concealed carry permit for the purpose of
self-defense.
“Senate Bill 1733 lets American's know that Oklahoma values the rights of its citizens to
defend themselves, their family and their property.
Oklahoma is now
the 25th state with a law either allowing residents to openly carry only
with a license, or not requiring a license. Oklahoma now joins Utah,
North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Hawaii and Massachusetts as a
licensed open carry state.
Gov. Mary Fallin said “I
want to thank Sen. Sykes and Rep. Hickman, as well as the entire
Legislature, for their commitment to protecting the Second Amendment
rights of Oklahomans,"
