Carrying a gun in Tulsa County
Since November 2019, Oklahoma allows adults 21 and older (18 for military members and veterans) who can legally own firearms to carry openly or concealed without a license. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation issues an optional handgun license, useful for reciprocity. Schools, government buildings, and private property with posted restrictions may prohibit carry.
