SB 524 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Firearms; authorizing concealed carry by certain persons at polling places. Effective date.

SB 524 amends Oklahoma law to allow certain individuals to carry concealed firearms at polling places during elections. Specifically, it permits people who are 21 or older, or 18-21-year-old military members/veterans with no firearm disqualifications (as defined in existing law), to carry concealed weapons at polling locations. This change adds polling places to the list of locations where these qualified individuals may carry concealed firearms under current exceptions. The bill does not alter general concealed carry rules or create new exceptions beyond the existing military/veteran and age-based provisions.
