After reading through the law again, it also looks like you could not carry an SBR magazine or clip loaded. The law defines rifle as having a barrel of over 16" long, and makes no exception for an SBR.
I would further argue that if you treated this as a "rifle or shotgun" with regard to your transport and storage being in compliance with this law, you would likely be in the clear as you consciously recognized it was not a pistol as defined by this act, and with rifle and shotgun not being clearly defined, it "must" be a rifle or shotgun. That said, there is not legal precedent for that logic but it being what a reasonable person could infer you would likely be in the clear, particularly since the rifle/shotgun carry is more conservative (magazine/clip loaded, not chamber loaded like "pistols").
TITLE 21 § 1289.4 and TITLE 21 § 1289.5 define a rifle and shotgun respectively. I was hoping the same thing you are suggesting but once I read those sections it makes it clear my AK pistol does not qualify as either.
It sounds like one of those "If you have to ask its probably wrong" questions. If I were I would just play it safe and leave it at home.
But 1289 isn't part of this act (defining rifle or shotgun for the purposes of the SDA), so that is where the reasonable person considerations could come into play. Of course, we're really just trying to guess what a court would rule, not what they have rules.
TITLE 21 § 1289.13A. Improper transportation of firearm
IMPROPER TRANSPORTATION OF FIREARM
A. Notwithstanding the provisions of 1272 or 1289.13 of this title, any person stopped pursuant to a moving traffic violation who is transporting a loaded pistol in the motor vehicle without a valid concealed handgun permit authorized by the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act or valid license from another state, whether the loaded firearm is concealed or open in the vehicle, shall be issued a traffic citation in the amount of Seventy Dollars ($70.00), plus court costs for transporting a firearm improperly. In addition to the traffic citation provided in this section, the person may also be arrested for any other violation of law.
By this section, it would allow for loaded transportation, not carry, in your vehicle with a valid SDA license, and the transportation may be concealed or open in your vehicle (not on your person).
.look , one of my brothers is an osbi agent,the other is the chief investigator for the ok county DA's office and they both say you are wrong as wrong gets
