Caliber Restrictions When Carrying Firearms in Oklahoma
Even though Oklahoma has been a Constitutional Carry state since 1 November 2019, we still have caliber restrictions on some of the firearms that may be carried in Oklahoma.
Even though, since 1 November 2019, you are permitted to carry any firearm that you may legally possess in public and not just handguns, the caliber restriction provision of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act ONLY applies to handguns. This is a holdover from when handgun licensing and concealed carry first became a thing in Oklahoma back in November of 1995.
One may not carry, openly or concealed, a handgun that is loaded with ammunition larger than .45 caliber.
The penalties for doing so can be found below and are, of course, discussed in this video itself.
