SB 206 Summary

• Amends Oklahoma Self-Defense Act definitions by clarifying "unconcealed handgun" includes pistols carried in belt holsters or shoulder holsters that are wholly or partially visible.

• Modifies Section 1290.7 to remove language that previously prohibited "intentionally display the pistol," narrowing restrictions on what license holders cannot do.

• Removes administrative penalties for failure to carry handgun license, including the $50 fine and 6-month license suspension for second violations; criminal penalties still apply.

• Changes Section 1290.21 to eliminate the word "either" before "stolen" when describing unlawful possession of someone else's license, maintaining felony penalty of $5,000.

• Declares an emergency, making the act effective immediately upon passage and approval.
