Oklahoma Concealed Carry Reciprocity Map

Oklahoma is a shall-issue, permitless carry state that allows both residents and non-residents to conceal or open carry with or without a CCW license. The state does offer carry permits for reciprocity purposes. 

In Oklahoma, constitutional carry became legal in 2019 allowing anyone over the age of 21 who is legally permitted to possess a firearm to conceal carry without needing to obtain a permit. 

To qualify for an Oklahoma CCW permit, you must be at least 21 years old (or 18 if a member of the U.S. military or an honorable veteran); be a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the U.S.; be a resident of Oklahoma with a valid ID; have an understanding of the Oklahoma Self Defense Act; complete a firearms training course; and meet all federal requirements. 

Open carry is also legal in Oklahoma without a permit for anyone over 21 and legally permitted to possess a firearm. Open carry is legal for those at least 18 years old so long as you have a permit.
