5. May I transport a firearm in my motor vehicle?

Answer: Under Oklahoma law, the general rule is that any person, except a convicted felon, may transport in a motor vehicle a firearm open and unloaded at any time. “Open” means the gun is in plain view or in a case designed for carrying firearms provided the case is wholly or partially visible.
