Yes, you would be in violation of the law. The law does not allow a firearm to be stored in a locked container of a motorcycle on school property. Motorcycle was not included in the legal definition of "motor vehicle" for this statute.

I cut this from Feb's amended version, dont see any others listed on SB 229 on OKlegistlature.gov, couldnt find the final passed version, so you should be good, but it wont happen till Nov 1, and we should see the official version before then. But it looks good if this is the one that passed.
G. For the purposes of this section, "motor vehicle" means any
automobile, truck, minivan, sports utility vehicle, motorcycle,
motor scooter and any other vehicle required to be registered under
the Oklahoma Vehicle License and Registration Act.

Passed version is HB2614 and it does not include motorcycles in the definition of a vehicle as it pertains to that section. So yes I would be in violation.
You're right, good catch.
Assholes, it's easier to shatter a truck window and open the truck door than it is to beat through ABS which flexes and doesn't shatter.
I think the real problem is that you are not within the vehicle when stowing the weapon while on a motorcycle. Basically, if you step foot onto the school property with your weapon you are guilty of a misdemeanor as I read the law. You've got to stow and secure within the confines of your vehicle prior to exiting and of course locking it to meet the standards set out within the law.
Unfortunately, this was the only way we could get it through - to take out motorcycles. We will try to add them back in later.
Wow. Take a few months off from OSA, and return to learn about a moto exemption to my favorite new law. Thanks for your work, seriously. Any chance you guys can get my vehicle deemed a vehicle before Nov. 1?
So after nov. 1st I will be able to lock my pistol in my car while going into the school? Does it have to be locked in a lockbox or mini safe or can it be in a console or glovebox?
