State Gun Laws

Laws current as of November 13, 2025

I have a protective order against the abuser. Can s/he keep a gun or buy a gun?

Oklahoma state law does not automatically make it illegal for a person to have a gun if there is a protective order issued against him/her. A judge does have the option of including a firearm restriction in a protective order however. If there is a firearm restriction included in a protective order, then the respondent in that order cannot have a gun during the period of time that the order is in effect.1

Also, federal laws, which apply to all states, restrict a person’s right to have a gun under certain circumstances. Go to Federal Gun Laws to get more information.

1 22 O.S. § 60.2 and see Emergency Order of Protection and Final Order of Protection on the Oklahoma Courts website
