Firearms; expanding certain eligibility related to unlawful carry. Effective date.

SB 1939 amends Oklahoma law to expand handgun license eligibility for individuals aged 18-20 who are members or veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces, Reserves, or National Guard (discharged honorably). The bill updates Section 1290.9 of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act to explicitly include this group as qualifying applicants, removing prior age-based barriers for military-affiliated youth. It does not change other eligibility requirements (like age 21, training, or residency). This policy change takes effect November 1, 2026, directly affecting young military personnel seeking concealed carry permits in Oklahoma.
