Permitless gun carry law to take effect in Oklahoma this week

Many Oklahomans will be able to carry firearms in public without a permit or training beginning next week, unless opponents of the new law who have filed a legal challenge are successful in their bid to stop the legislation from taking effect.

Called “Constitutional carry” by proponents, the legislation will allow most Oklahomans age 21 and older — and military service members and veterans age 18 and older — to carry guns either concealed or unconcealed without a license. Exceptions include anyone who is in the country illegally and those convicted of certain crimes.

The measure was the first bill Gov. Kevin Stitt signed into law earlier this year. A spokeswoman for Stitt said the governor’s office could not comment for the story due to current ongoing litigation.

Supporters are planning a celebratory rally outside the state Capitol on Friday, the day the law is to take effect.

We have this in WV. Mr. M and I already had concealed carry permits when it took effect.
