Unlicensed Carry Law HB2597 Signed Into Law 2-27-2019
Signing of Constitutional Carry Bill by Gov. Stitt
Oklahoma was the 15th state to recognize a citizen’s right to self-preservation. HB2597, known as constitutional carry, was signed into law February 27, 2019. It goes into effect November 1st 2019.
This was one of OK2a’s premiere legislative accomplishments, but there’s still more to be done. We would like to thank the State Legislature and Governor Stitt for working together to return this important achievement.

• The governing bodies of private schools now may set weapons policies for their facilities.
• Oklahoma is now an open carry state.
• In total, the Oklahoma 2nd Amendment Association has helped pass almost 40 different pro-gun measures through the legislative process. No other 2A group in Oklahoma can boast such a resume.

Why Should You Support OK2A?
Yes, there are other “gun groups” in Oklahoma, but no other gun-rights group in Oklahoma has achieved the record of success that OK2A has. As the only group with a daily presence at the State Capitol (not even the NRA can say that), we have worked tirelessly to advance the rights of gun owners in Oklahoma, and it has paid off.
RESOURCES
Oklahoma Constitution
In addition to the United States Constitution, each state has its own constitution and therefore, its own body of constitutional law as well. State constitutions resemble the federal Constitution in that they outline the state government’s structure of legislative, executive and judicial branches as well as contain a bill of rights. The details in state constitutions often address topics unique to the state and are more open to amendments.
In recent years, state constitutions have become the focal point of controversies regarding topics like same-sex marriage, eminent domain reform, resistance to health care reform, gun control, free speech on private property, equal education funding, school vouchers, recall of elected officials and many other important matters of public policy.
