SB 416 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Oklahoma Self-Defense Act; modifying scope of certain unlawful act related to prohibited ammunition. Effective date.

SB 416 amends Oklahoma's Self-Defense Act to clarify that carrying a handgun (concealed or unconcealed) under the Act's authority with prohibited ammunition is illegal. Specifically, it prohibits ammunition that is a "restricted bullet" (as defined in 21 O.S. §1289.19), larger than .45 caliber, or otherwise banned by law. This applies directly to individuals holding Oklahoma self-defense licenses who carry such ammunition. Violators face criminal penalties under §1272 and an additional $500 administrative fine from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. The law takes effect November 1, 2025.
