The Need-to-Know: Does Your Oklahoma CCW Pack a Punch in Other States?
Good news, partners! Oklahoma's CCW license is like a passport for your peacekeeper. A whopping 38 states recognize the Oklahoma badge, letting you carry concealed (always double-check local laws, just to be safe).
But Hold Your Horses! Not All Meadows Are Made Equal
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
While Oklahoma's CCW roams free across a good chunk of the US, there are some saddletramps you gotta avoid. Twelve states don't recognize our fancy Oklahoma license, so you best leave your shootin' iron at home if you're headed to:
- The Land of Fruits and Nuts (California)
- The Big Apple (New York)
- And a bunch of other places that apparently don't like our friendly Oklahoma charm (sorry, guys!)
Reciprocity Realities: A Fistful of Facts
- Double Check, Don't Be a Heck: Laws can change faster than a rattlesnake strike, so always verify reciprocity with the destination state before you mosey on over.
- Not All Licenses Are Created Equal: Some states might only honor Oklahoma licenses for residents, so check if you need to be an Okie to be covered.
- There Might Be More Rules Than at a Cattle Drive: Even with reciprocity, some states might have specific restrictions on where you can carry or what kind of firearm is allowed.
