What to know in Oklahoma

Oklahoma is listed as a permitless carry state, so a permit is optional for eligible adults; the card is the Self-Defense Act License (SDAL). For the optional permit, a single state agency handles permits, so the same office serves every county. The issuing agency is Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

The minimum age to apply is 21 (18 if active military or veteran). The required training course in Oklahoma is 8 hours.

We found no Oklahoma rule that lets you keep carrying on an expired permit while a renewal is pending, so renew before the date on your card. To replace a lost or stolen Oklahoma permit, expect to provide a notarized statement. After a move or name change, tell the issuing agency within 30 days. Confirm with the issuing agency
