Thought I would give an update on my OK experience for fellow Texas CHLers traveling to OK. OK of course, recognizes TX CHL. OK does not have the equivalent of the Texas 30.06 sign, but they do allow private property owners and businesses to post gun-buster signs. The interesting thing is that those signs do not have the force of law like the 30.06 sign. If you are discovered to be carrying and they ask you to leave, you must leave or you can be charged with trespass. They also have restricted places as well, that info is easy to find with a web search. This all pertains to concealed carry only, as OK has separate laws for open carry.

For my specific question, yes, the Chesapeake Energy Arena is posted with gun-buster signs and language. It is a professional sport arena, which is prohibited by statute. Altho I was attending a college event, I decided not to be a test case.

Just my opinions, not legal advice. Hope this helps.

XDR1, thanks for those links.

yes, I read the link, thanks. I meant I would check out the arena first before carrying there, so I wouldn't have to go back and disarm, I won't have a car handy.

thanks for the responses. I guess I'l just leave my carry in the car until I'm sure.

I'll be going to Oklahoma City next month for a college sporting event being held in the Chesapeake Energy Arena (which is not any school property). I know I can carry with my Texas CHL, but this will be my first time carrying out of Texas.

1. My research finds that OK bans CC in professional sporting events, but doesn't say anything about schools, so it would apppear to be ok to carry at a college sporting event if it was not on school property. Am I reading this correctly?

2. Anybody here from OKC know whether the Chesapeake Energy Arena prohibits firearms or does metal detector checks. I know a lot of these venues do bag and scanner checks.

thanks
