SB 1218: Firearms; pointing of weapon; exception; use of physical or deadly force; defensive display of firearms; prohibiting denial of purchase by certain persons; age. Emergency.

This bill amends Oklahoma law to clarify that a person cannot be denied the purchase of a handgun based on a specific exception related to pointing a weapon.
