What if a relative with a felony record wants to come visit me here in Oklahoma? Must I remove my firearms from my home during that time or is it legal to just lock them away in the safe so that the relative (felon) cannot have access?

Follow Nancy Reagens advice and just say NO.
Meet with them some where else besides your home. Thats what I have had to do. Get em a room close to your house.
Just make sure they are not accessable.
The bigger question is- do you suspect that the Felon will try to access, steal or use one of your firearms, or are you just wanting to be sure to comply with the literal definition of the law?
If the visitor is safe and wanted, lock the guns up (I think that complies with the law. Or if you only have a few dozen guns
, you could store them at a seperate location) and figure out the transportation arrangements if you want to CC. If you are concerned with a suspicious person, well, you could always meet up at a Waffle House...

if they are still committing felon activities, it is an easy Hell no you can't come. If they have a felony conviction and are now upstanding citizens, then your gun safe is acceptable as guns not being accesible.
Not wanting to hijack the thread but what if you are a CCW holder and they come to visit and you are carrying at the time they are there but all other weapons are in locked safe or they are riding with as in taking them to pick up a repaired vehicle? The felon is an upstanding citizen as in charge was 10 yrs ago and is a non-violent one, just wrong place at wrong time. Been trying to get clearer understanding of this as this person is a close relative and visits often.

Yes, You wouldn't want him to come in your house or never mention that you own weapons. Never know what he is thinking. Just say no rather than cry later..
Don't outsmart you common sense...
I think my guns will get locked away in a friend's safe for the short time the relative with a felony record is here...better "safe" than sorry on this one. Thanks for all the opinions and advice OSA.
