Open Carry Laws for Oklahoma

January 11, 2016

Open Carrying in Oklahoma is permitted only for those who are permit holders or those individuals who are from permitless carry states including Arkansas, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming. Places considered as off limits also apply to those who open carry. To know more about carrying in a vehicle, check the “Traveling in a Vehicle with a Firearm without an Oklahoma Permit” section above.

State and local authorities are not allowed to establish laws and ordinances that will regulate open carrying. When a property owner asks you to leave his premises, you must do so immediately. Failure to leave may result to Criminal Trespass. The minimum age required for open carrying is 21 years old.

There are some states that do not allow open carrying in places that allow concealed carrying for those with valid permits.
