Oklahoma Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Is open carry permitted without a license in Oklahoma?

1. Yes, for residents over 21

2. Yes, but only for non-residents

3. No

4. Yes, but only with a permit

The correct answer is: No

Open carry is indeed permitted in Oklahoma without a license, but only under specific conditions. The law allows residents aged 21 and older to carry a firearm openly in public without needing a permit, which makes the first choice the correct response. Regarding other options, while the option indicating that non-residents can open carry is incorrect, it’s important to note that open carry is predominantly associated with state residents. The option suggesting that a permit is required is also not aligned with the current laws, as the open carry provision specifically allows individuals of legal age to carry firearms openly without needing a government-issued permit. Thus, the question emphasizes the right conditions under which open carry is allowable for residents, underscoring the importance of understanding local firearm laws.
