It only took the full 90 days for mine.
You can still carry it while youre waiting- just not on your body loaded while out in public or loaded while in the car. You dont have to live in fear.
Not sure this applies since you stated the protective order is "emergency" but if it's permanent the sheriff can issue a temporary license good for 6 months while you are waiting for your regular license. It's on page 8 in the SDA Law book #11.
"11. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act or any other provisions of law, any
person who has been granted a permanent victim’s protective order by the court, as provided for in the
Protection from Domestic Abuse Act, may be issued a temporary handgun license for a period not to
exceed six (6) months. A temporary handgun license may be issued if the person has successfully
passed the required weapons course, completed the application process for the handgun license, passed
the preliminary investigation of the person by the sheriff and court clerk, and provided the sheriff proof of
a certified permanent victim protection order and a valid Oklahoma state photo identification card or
driver license. The sheriff shall issue a temporary handgun license on a form approved by the Oklahoma
State Bureau of Investigation, at no cost. Any person who has been issued a temporary license shall
carry the temporary handgun license and a valid Oklahoma state Photo identification on his or her person
at all times, and shall be subject to all the requirements of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act when carrying
a handgun. The person may proceed with the handgun licensing process. In the event the victim’s
protection order is no longer enforceable, the temporary handgun license shall cease to be valid;"

Not going for a permanent one. But great advice. Hopefully have it before next court date for this.
Carry it. I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
I see no problem with you protecting yourself. I am NOT a lawyer.
are there not exigent circumstances when you have a valid threat against you that allows you to carry without a license? either way I would also rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6... getting caught is generally a misdemeanor and small fine(although they will likely confiscate the firearm) IIRC.
I've got plenty to confiscate. Just don't carry anything I'd be pissed about losing.
Everything is cleared except they haven't heard back from mental health yet. Ill be asking my therapist about that soon. Just situational depression. Shouldn't be an issue rigjt?
Ruckus, I read this whole thread and I didn't see anyone address one mistake in your original post. It was about your mentioning the protective order. You are only prohibited from owning a firearm if you are the defendant in a protective order. You are the plaintiff, so the fact that you were forced to take out a protective order against someone does not count against you in owning/purchasing a gun or applying for a carry permit.
That's what I thought
