Oklahoma Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Which of the following locations is it illegal to carry a firearm in Oklahoma, even with a valid handgun license?

1. Restaurants serving alcohol

2. State government buildings

3. Public parks

4. Private vehicles

The correct answer is: State government buildings

The correct answer is that it is illegal to carry a firearm in state government buildings in Oklahoma, even with a valid handgun license. These buildings are designated as sensitive locations where the presence of firearms can pose a heightened security risk and potentially endanger public safety. Laws are designed to keep certain areas secure to ensure the welfare of both employees and visitors. In contrast, restaurants serving alcohol may allow licensed individuals to carry firearms, provided they do not consume alcohol on the premises. Public parks generally permit firearms as long as the individual is legally allowed to carry them. Additionally, private vehicles are specifically protected under Oklahoma law, allowing individuals to transport firearms in their vehicles without a license in many circumstances, making this option compliant with the law.
