Open Carry States

Today, Oklahoma becomes the 15th to allow license-holders to carry their handguns out in the open. Today in the United States, the laws concerning open carry vary by state.  Oklahoma falls under ‘License Open Carry States,’ which means a state has passed full preemption of all firearms laws.  They permit open carry of a handgun to all non-prohibited citizens once they have been issued a permit or license. Open carry of a handgun is lawful on foot and in a motor vehicle. Other states include:

  • Connecticut
  • Georgia
  • Hawaii
  • Indiana
  • Iowa
  • Maryland
  • Massachusetts
  • Minnesota
  • Mississippi
  • New Jersey
  • North Dakota
  • Oklahoma
