A friend with a 5.7x28 pistol said there was a Law in OK prohibiting carrying the weapon. Is that the case?
How does the law read?

His gun is legal as long as he never has armor piercing ammo in it. You can't carry a gun that's larger than .45 cal. or armor piercing ammo.
TITLE 21 § 1290.6 PROHIBITED AMMUNITION Any concealed or unconcealed handgun when carried in a manner authorized by the provisions of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act and when loaded with any ammunition which is either a restricted bullet as defined by Section 1289.19 of this title or is larger than .45 caliber or is otherwise prohibited by law shall be deemed a prohibited weapon for purposes of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be punished for a criminal offense as provided by Section 1272 of title of this title or any other applicable provision of law. In addition to any criminal prosecution for a violation of the provisions of this section, the licensee shall be subject to an administrative fine of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), upon a hearing and determination by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation that the person is in violation of the provisions of this section.

Does this section need to be repealed or modified?
With the push for ammo of the future to be lead free.
like solid copper or bronze bullets
Thank you
Not unless they start making them with a "fluorocarbon coating".
I wonder what the state will say about Federal Premium's new American Eagle Syntech rounds?

Projectile manufacturers need ATF approval prior to marketing new projectiles to the public when there is a possibility that the projectile could be considered AP.

I think it should be repealed.
