Who is prohibited from possessing firearms in Oklahoma?

Convicted felons
Individuals under 18
Non-residents
Business owners

The correct answer is: Convicted felons

The correct response is based on the legal framework surrounding firearm possession in Oklahoma. Convicted felons are prohibited from possessing firearms under both state and federal law due to the belief that individuals who have committed serious crimes may pose a higher risk when it comes to gun ownership. This restriction aims to enhance public safety by preventing those who have demonstrated disregard for the law from accessing weapons. While individuals under 18 do have limited access to firearms, certain exceptions exist, allowing minors to possess firearms under specific conditions such as with parental supervision. Non-residents can legally possess firearms in Oklahoma, but they must comply with state laws, and business owners do not face automatic prohibitions regarding gun ownership unless they have felony convictions or meet other disqualifying criteria.
