hand guns are different and you are only allowed to buy hand guns in the state of your residence. if you are an ok resident i would recommend getting an oklahoma drivers license if you dont want any flack when trying to buy a pistol.
There is a picture at all the walmart's in the gun rack. I think people from Montana can buy here.. I was in the seminole walmart and saw the chart on the way to our land.
Q: From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA?
A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee’s premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]

You need to get a driver's license that matches your state of legal residence and shows your correct address to buy a handgun from a FFL, and you must receive the handgun in your home state. Your ID must show your correct physical address to legally buy a handgun. Putting a false address on the 4473 is a Federal felony, and the dealer is not allowed to sell the gun if the given address and ID don't match.
EXCEPTION for active military: Copy of current PCS orders showing assignment to OK and a military ID suffice. Does not apply to dependents.
ADDED: This ATF gun show handout is a great synopsis of Fed gun sale laws.

I've coped the ATF handout and will share it with my family and friends. As Rod says, its a good synopsis of federal gun sale laws.

Thanks Glock Nut and Rod Snell!
I'm a graduate student here in Okla. temporarily and thus avoid the "10 (or 30) days to get OK DL once you move here". I was told by a drivers license station employee that I must surrender my out of state DL to obtain an OK IDENTIFICATION CARD (not DL). Do you know if the ID card would even be valid for handgun purchase if I got one? Is it in fact true that I would have to surrender my out of state DL to get the ID card?

It's my understanding you don't need an Oklahoma driver license to purchase a handgun in this state - there are many types of state-issued ID showing your photo and your current address that will do (including an Oklahoma CWL).
I didn't think so either, bashed1, but I haven't found any FFL willing to sell a handgun w/o an Okie one though!
I hope it is possible. My son is in the Military in San Diego. He is buying a Sig Sauer 226 (like his service arm.) I don't want him to get into trouble. His legal residence is here in OK.
