Yes, stun guns are legal in Oklahoma for individuals 18 or older without a permit, per 21 O.S. § 1272. Open carry is permitted, but local ordinances like Tulsa’s 2024 “Safe Streets” policy restrict use in public demonstrations. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) enforces compliance with battery and concealed carry laws, though no 2026 statutory changes are pending.
