What's the error?

1290.26

"The State of Oklahoma hereby recognizes any valid concealed or unconcealed carry weapons permit or license issued by another state..."

he only "error" is that certain people in Oklahoma keep trying to perpetuate the myth that Oklahoma residents can only carry in Oklahoma with an Oklahoma Carry License. The state laws SAYS and MEANS:


TITLE 21 § 1290.26 RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT AUTHORITY


The State of Oklahoma hereby recognizes any valid concealed or unconcealed carry weapons permit or license issued by another state, or if the state is a nonpermitting carry state, this state shall reciprocate under the permitting law of that state. 20

A. Any person entering this state in possession of a firearm authorized for concealed or unconcealed carry upon the authority and license of another state is authorized to continue to carry a concealed or unconcealed firearm and license in this state; provided the license from the other state remains valid. The firearm must either be carried unconcealed or 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 or unconcealed firearm pursuant to a valid concealed or unconcealed carry weapons permit or license issued in another state.

As SMS noted, "VALID" is the key word, and TX does allow people who move out of TX to keep their TX carry license, provided they continue to comply with all the TX requirements, including notifying them of the current address. Handgunlaw.us has links to all the states' official web sites for carry laws.

Unlike driver's licenses, you can have as many carry licenses from as many states as will sell them to you, and the different licenses are often valid in different reciprocal states.
