If you have an Oklahoma driver license, proof of residency shouldn't be a problem.

Be aware that you may not carry in an establishment that serves alcohol, (most restaurants) without an SDA License. For me, and so I can travel to other states that recognize Oklahoma's license, that's a good enough reason to get it
Also, if you are carrying (open or concealed) without an SDA license and get stopped for a traffic infraction, they will tack on an additional $75 charge.
Residents and non-residents are free to carry openly or concealed here in Oklahoma, as long as you follow the rules regarding where you can carry (federal buildings, schools, etc). I'd still recommend getting your permit for reciprocity's sake, but from what you've written it sounds like you're good to go. Have fun, stay safe, welcome to the best state in the nation.
Don't you have to reside in Oklahoma for 90 days to be considered a resident? I may be wrong.
Are you sure about that? Where is that stated in the SDA?

I'm gonna call BS on this one...
Cite as: 21 O.S. § 1289.7 (OSCN 2021), Oklahoma Firearms Act of 1971
FIREARMS IN VEHICLES
A. Any person who is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing a firearm may transport in a motor vehicle a pistol or handgun, loaded or unloaded, at any time.
B. Any person who is not otherwise prohibited by law from possessing a firearm may transport in a motor vehicle a rifle or shotgun open or concealed, provided the rifle or shotgun is transported pursuant to the requirements of Section 1289.13 of this title.
C. Any person who is the operator of a motor vehicle or is a passenger in any motor vehicle wherein another person who is licensed pursuant to the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act or is otherwise permitted by law to carry a handgun, concealed or unconcealed, and is carrying a handgun or has the handgun in such vehicle, shall not be deemed in violation of the provisions of this section provided the licensee or person permitted by law is in or near the motor vehicle.
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 when asked to do so by a law enforcement officer of this state during any arrest, detainment or routine traffic stop. Any person who violates the provisions of this subsection may be issued a citation for an amount not to exceed One Hundred Dollars ($100.00).
This is probably what he is talking about:
TITLE 21 § 1289.13A IMPROPER TRANSPORTATION OF FIREARM
A. Notwithstanding the provisions of 1272 or 1289.7 of this title, any person stopped pursuant to a moving traffic violation who is transporting a loaded pistol in the motor vehicle without a valid handgun license authorized by the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act or valid license from another state, or in violation of any law related to the carrying or transporting of firearms, whether the loaded firearm is concealed or unconcealed in the vehicle, may be issued a traffic citation in the amount of Seventy Dollars ($70.00), plus court costs for transporting a firearm improperly. In addition to the traffic citation provided in this section, the person may also be arrested for any other violation of law.
I admit it is kind of confusing.
I'm thinking the new Constitutional Carry law should nullify this, because you're no longer "transporting a firearm improperly."
