Oklahoma lawmakers approve new bill allowing adults to carry guns without a permit
Oklahoma state lawmakers on Wednesday approved a bill that would allow adults to carry guns without a permit after it was vetoed by the state's former Republican governor.
The Republican-led state House voted in favor of the “constitutional carry” bill in a 70-30 vote, according to the Associated Press.
The proposed policy, also known as “permitless carry,” allows Oklahoma residents over the age of 21, or 18 with a military background, to carry a gun without any training or a license.
Lawmakers in the state’s House and Senate approved similar legislation last year, but it was vetoed by then-Gov. Mary Fallin (R).
