It does not mention a license from a reciprocal state, or at least I did not find it. I just scanned it, so it might be there somewhere.


Here you go, page 63:
Section 1290.26.
RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT AUTHORITY
The State of Oklahoma hereby recognizes any valid concealed or unconcealed carry weapons permit or license issued by another state.
Any person entering this state in possession of a firearm authorized for concealed or unconcealed carry upon the authority and license of another state is authorized to continue to carry a concealed or unconcealed firearm and license in this state; provided the license from the other state remains valid. The firearm must either be carried fully unconcealed or concealed from detection and view, and upon coming in contact with any peace officer of this state, the person must disclose the fact that he or she is in possession of a concealed or unconcealed firearm pursuant to a valid concealed or unconcealed carry weapons permit or license issued in another state. Any person who is twenty-one (21) years of age or older having a valid firearm license from another state may apply for a concealed handgun license in this state immediately upon establishing a residence in this state.
Which I think is the same language mentioned earlier.



IMHO, and INAL but I think they will end up honoring Texas CHL for Open Carry.


"Any person entering this state in possession of a firearm authorized for concealed or unconcealed carry upon the authority and license of another state is authorized to continue to carry a concealed or unconcealed firearm and license in this state; provided the license from the other state remains valid."


If I have a firearm which is authorized for concealed carry in another state, then I am authorized to carry concealed or unconcealed in this state (OK); provided the license from the other state remains valid.

My Texas license is valid.

YMMV

The law only applies to residents of OK who are licensed and other state residents who are licensed to open carry. Texas only licenses conceal carry so open carrying in Oklahoma is against the law. I've spoken to OSBI and the AG and they agree.

#2> I will show my AZ license, and at the end of the situation ask the officer if my Texas Permit would have worked (in his opinion).


I won't make a special trip to go to OK, but next time I visit I will be OC'ing for sure.

Re: OK - Open Carry to Start Nov 1st.

This is good news, hope we join them at some point.


IMHO, the discussion really isn't about what how individuals choose to carry. I personally do not like Brussel Sprouts, but I promise in no way will I ever try to interfere with your right to eat them (openly or concealed). ;-)


Does anyone have any links or insight into how this effort was started, and how it succeeded?
