Firearms; stating certain criminal negligence. Effective date.
SB 934 amends Oklahoma law to address criminal negligence when firearm owners permit minors access to weapons. It makes it unlawful for a firearm owner to fail to secure a readily dischargeable firearm (a loaded gun ready to fire), leading to a minor causing injury or death - unless the owner used a locked container, supervised use for lawful purposes, or had other valid defenses listed in the bill. The law also expands civil liability, allowing victims to seek damages from parents or guardians whose negligence permitted a minor to possess a firearm that caused injury. This directly affects parents, guardians, and firearm owners who store guns unsafely around minors.
