The department by rule shall establish a procedure for a person who is a legal resident of a state that does not provide for the issuance of a license to carry a concealed handgun
quote:Thus, there is cause to believe that they may recognize it. But note that it speaks of "Any person entering this state in possession of a firearm authorized for concealed carry upon the authority and license of another state". Does that mean "for as long as you stay if you establish your residence in the state"? Or does it indicate someone in the state temporarily?
RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT AUTHORITY
The State of Oklahoma hereby recognizes any valid concealed carry weapons permit or license issued by another state.
Any person entering this state in possession of a firearm authorized for concealed carry upon the authority and license of another state is authorized to continue to carry a concealed firearm and license in this state; provided the license from the other state remains valid. The firearm must be carried fully concealed from detection and view, and upon coming in contact with any peace officer of this state, the person must disclose the fact that he or she is in possession of a concealed firearm pursuant to a valid concealed carry weapons permit or license issued in another state. Any person who is twenty-one (21) years of age or older having a valid firearm license from another state may apply for a concealed handgun license in this state immediately upon establishing a residence in this state.

Sec. 411.173. NONRESIDENT LICENSE.
(a) The department by rule shall establish a procedure for a person who meets the eligibility requirements of this subchapter other than the residency requirement established by Section 411.172(a)(1) to obtain a license under this subchapter if the person is a legal resident of another state or if the person relocates to this state with the intent to establish residency in this state. The procedure must include payment of a fee in an amount sufficient to recover the average cost to the department of obtaining a criminal history record check and investigation on a nonresident applicant. A license issued in accordance with the procedure established under this subsection:
(1) remains in effect until the license expires under Section 411.183; and
(2) may be renewed under Section 411.185.

In OK you cannot carry into any government building. You can in Texas aside from federal buildings
In OK you cannot carry at a meeting of a govt. In Texas you can unless given 30.06 notice
In OK you cannot carry at ANY sporting event. In Texas only High School, Collegiate, professional and interscholastic events are off limits
In OK you cannot carry larger than a .45

This includes places like road side "Welcome to Oklahoma" rest and information stops and museums owned by the state.
Their signs on those buildings warning folks is smaller than a 8.5 x 11 in piece of paper and was obscured in one case.
Don't underestimate how many buildings are #@$ government owned it's a pain in the butt up there.

Be careful, as there are a few differences between Texas and Oklahoma
First, that state doesn't have a comparable 30.06 sign requirement! We were up there a few years back and I almost carried into an event (Tulsarama), but luckily I noticed the 'no guns' sign before going in. I had to go lock up my XD before entering, as that sign had what they call "the force of law."
Secondly, you must inform a law enforcement officer of the fact that you are carrying under Title 21 §1290.8, otherwise it is a misdemeanor with fines up to $500 and/or imprisonment up to 90 days! It is not when you are asked for identification, the law states you must do so "when you first come into contact with any law enforcement officer of this state or its political subdivisions or a federal law enforcement officer during the course of any arrest, detainment, or routine traffic stop."

I found out the hard way that osbi gets nasty if you move outside of oklahoma with out returning them.
make sure that if you move their with your texas chl that you go to your local city or county police department and advise them that you have chl and are in their county. also one draw back from having texas chl in oklahoma is that you can not buy a hand gun with texas license in oklahoma.

I know this is an old thread. But here is my situation. I live in Oklahoma. I moved from Texas to here. I still have a Texas DL and Permit... I am a veteran and get half price renewals on my Texas permit. They don't offer that up here. I know I should get an Oklahoma DL and permit. But I don't want to lose my half price renewal. I got the initial gun permit free because of my Vet status. Can I just change my address on me Texas CHL to my Oklahoma address and then get an Ok DL??
