The Good News: You Can Saddle Up with Hollow Points!
That's right, folks. Oklahoma doesn't have any laws restricting good ol' fashioned hollow-point ammunition. Hollow points are A-OK for concealed or unconcealed carry as long as you're following the guidelines of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act. Consider it the green light to go ahead and pack those for your next trip.
Now Hold on There, Buckaroo, There's a Few "Can't Do's"
While Oklahoma is pretty chill about hollow points, there are a couple of things you definitely shouldn't be carrying:
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
- Armor-Piercing Rounds: These bad boys are designed to punch through vests like they're made of tissue paper, and Oklahoma ain't too keen on that. Best leave them at home.
- Explosive Bullets: Now, we all know the only explosions we want in Oklahoma are of the celebratory firework kind. Bullets that go boom? Not so much.
Remember: Hollow points might expand on impact, but they ain't grenades. Don't get confused, partner.
But Why All the Fuss About Hollow Points Anyway?
Hollow points are designed to expand upon impact, which can help transfer more energy to the target and potentially stop a threat faster. Some folks might say they're more humane for self-defense situations (since they're less likely to over-penetrate and hit something unintended), but that's a whole other conversation for another day.
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
