[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3111402, member: 13624"] Yes and no. Reciprocity provisions are still in effect; [I]however[/I], they are also supplemented by new language. 21 O.S. 1272 is amended to read (new language highlighted): [INDENT]A. It shall be unlawful for any person to carry upon or about his or her person, or in a purse or other container belonging to the person, any pistol, revolver, shotgun or rifle whether loaded or unloaded or any blackjack, loaded cane, billy, hand chain, metal knuckles, or any other offensive weapon, whether such weapon be concealed or unconcealed, except this section shall not prohibit: 1. The proper use of guns and knives for [COLOR=#b35900]self-defense[/COLOR], hunting, fishing, educational or recreational purposes; ... [COLOR=#b35900]6. The carrying of a firearm, concealed or unconcealed, loaded or unloaded, by a person who is at least twenty-one (21) years of age or older, or eighteen (18) years of age but not yet twenty-one (21) years of age and the person is a member or veteran of the United States Armed Forces, Reserves or National Guard or was discharged under honorable conditions from the United States Armed Forces, Reserves or National Guard, and who is otherwise not disqualified from the possession or purchase of a firearm under state or federal law and is not carrying the firearm in furtherance of a crime. Except as provided in subsection B of Section 1283 of this title, any person convicted of the following offenses in this state or a violation of the equivalent law of another state: ...[/COLOR][/INDENT] Several other bits referring to people "in possession of a handgun license" are amended to add terms substantially similar to "or otherwise lawfully in possession of a handgun," addressing that the license is no longer the only legal authorization to carry. 21 O.S. 1283 adds a subsection (E) that does restrict the right, but only to illegals: [INDENT][COLOR=#b35900]E. It shall be unlawful for any person who is an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States to have in the possession of the person or under the immediate control of the person, or in any vehicle the person is operating, or at the residence where the person resides, any pistol, imitation or homemade pistol, altered air or toy pistol, shotgun, rifle or any other dangerous or deadly firearm; provided, that nothing in this subsection applies to prohibit the transport or detention of the person by law enforcement officers or federal immigration authorities. Any person who violates the provisions of this subsection shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00).[/COLOR][/INDENT] 21 O.S. 1289.6 adds the following language: [INDENT]CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH FIREARMS MAY BE CARRIED A. A person shall be permitted to carry loaded and unloaded shotguns, rifles and pistols, open and not concealed and without a handgun license as authorized by the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act pursuant to the following conditions: ... [COLOR=#b35900]6. As provided for in subsection A of Section 1272 of this title[/COLOR]; or 7. For lawful self-defense and self-protection or any other legitimate purpose [S]in or on property that is owned, leased, rented, or otherwise legally controlled by the person; or 7. For any legitimate purpose[/S] not in violation of [S]the Oklahoma Firearms Act of 1971 or[/S] any legislative enactment regarding the use, carrying, ownership and control of firearms.[/INDENT] 21 O.S. 1289.7 adds this little gem: [INDENT][COLOR=#b35900]D. It shall be unlawful for any person transporting a firearm in a motor vehicle to fail or refuse to identify that the person is in actual possession of a firearm [B]when asked to do so[/B] by a law enforcement officer of this state during a traffic stop, arrest or detention. Any person who violates the provisions of this subsection shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed One Hundred Dollars ($100.00).[/COLOR][/INDENT] Note the boldface section: it looks like, when carrying pursuant to constitutional carry, you don't have to disclose until asked. 21 O.S. 1290.7 explicitly clarifies that the fact that licenses are available doesn't mean you have to have one: [INDENT][COLOR=#b35900]B. The availability of a license to carry pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act shall not be construed to prohibit the lawful transport or carrying of a handgun or pistol in a vehicle or on or about the person whether concealed or unconcealed, loaded or unloaded and without a valid handgun license as permitted by law.[/COLOR][/INDENT] So...aside from the bit about illegals, it appears this changes things for [I]everybody[/I], not just Oklahoma residents. If California Joe or New Jersey Fred come down here to civilized America, the only thing they need to lawfully carry a gun is...a gun. I [I]like[/I] it! [/QUOTE]
