[QUOTE="FrankNmac, post: 2991770, member: 41074"] Here is a copy of what the Oklahoma SDA book [URL]https://www.ok.gov/osbi/documents/SDA_LAW_BOOK.pdf[/URL] says: TITLE 21 § 1290.10 MANDATORY PRECLUSIONS In addition to the requirements stated in Section 1290.9 of this title, the conditions stated in this section shall preclude a person from eligibility for a handgun license pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act. The occurrence of any one of the following conditions shall deny the person the right to have a handgun license pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Self- Defense Act.
