DEFINITIONS

A. As used in the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act:

1. “Concealed handgun” means a loaded or unloaded pistol carried hidden from the detection and view of another person either upon or about the person, in a purse or other container belonging to the person, or in a vehicle which is operated by the person or in which the person is riding as a passenger, the presence of which is not openly discernible to the ordinary observation of a reasonable person;

BUSINESS OWNER’S RIGHTS

A. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, nothing contained in any provision of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act, Section 1290.1 et seq. of this title, shall be construed to limit, restrict or prohibit in any manner the existing rights of any person, property owner, tenant, employer, place of worship or business entity to control the possession of weapons on any property owned or controlled by the person or business entity.

B. No person, property owner, tenant, employer, place of worship or business entity shall be permitted to establish any policy or rule that has the effect of prohibiting any person, except a convicted felon, from transporting and storing firearms in a locked vehicle on any property set aside for any vehicle.

C. A property owner, tenant, employer, place of worship or business entity may prohibit any person from carrying a concealed or unconcealed firearm on the property. If the building or property is open to the public, the property owner, tenant, employer, place of worship or business entity shall post signs on or about the property stating such prohibition.

D. The carrying of a concealed or unconcealed firearm by a person who has been issued a handgun license on property that has signs prohibiting the carrying of firearms shall not be deemed a criminal act but may subject the person to being denied entrance onto the property or removed from the property. If the person refuses to leave the property and a peace officer is summoned, the person may be issued a citation for an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00).

E. A person, property owner, tenant, employer, place of worship or business entity that does not prohibit any individual, except a convicted felon, from carrying a loaded or unloaded, concealed or unconcealed weapon on property that the person, property owner, tenant, employer, place of worship or business entity owns or has legal control of is immune from any liability arising from that decision. An employer who does not prohibit an employee from carrying a concealed or unconcealed weapon is immune from any liability arising from that decision. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to claims pursuant to the Workers’ Compensation Act.

HB2021. What's going to happen if I take a MIO firearm across state lines for some recreational shooting at a friend or relatives property or a match?

So I'm guessing HJR 1026 died since it didn't make the 3/14 deadline? Damn shame...

As of right now, schools are the only place you can not legally keep a firearm in the vehicle while on the property. Every other place, vehicle is considered your private property and gun is good. I hate having to leave my firearm home during the week and not have it as I am out and about before or after work.

I don't know if that is true or not.

I can't carry my gun into the Post Office. But recently I was also told it was illegal to leave it in my car while parked in the PO parking lot. Since that it also Federal property. I'm supposed to park across the street?

And my wife works for Phillips 66 in Bartlesville. They were specifically told that having a gun in your car in the company parking lot was grounds for being fired. Whether it was locked or you have a permit, etc.

My employer had to change policy for that reason. I hope Phillips knows what wrongful termination is.

Just means they find something else to fire your for

I knew the law and I knew Conoco Phillips was one of the major companies that took it to court. I never heard whether those court cases had been decided and the law was "in effect."
