Felony Gun Crimes in Oklahoma

Although Oklahoma is more relaxed in its gun laws than other states may be, there are still plenty of laws that make it a felony to use or possess a gun under certain circumstances.

There are obvious examples of crimes involving guns that are felonies, such as using them with the intent to kill or injure, or while committing a separate felony at the same time. It is also felonious for those previously convicted of a separate felony to possess a firearm, as well as delinquents and undocumented immigrants.

Other criminal acts that may be charged as felonies include the following:

• Giving firearms to someone who cannot legally own one
• Pointing a loaded or unloaded gun to frighten, threaten, or cause injury
• Firing a gun into a house, business, or public building
• Owning or manufacturing prohibited types of ammunition
• Carrying a gun into a place where liquor is consumed, regardless of permits for open or concealed carry

As a reminder, a felony is punishable by at least one year in state or federal prison with the potential for life sentences. That means a conviction of any of the crimes described above and others can mean years of your life behind bars and never being allowed to own a gun again.

Needless to say, being charged with a felony gun crime is a very serious situation involving strict penalties. If you have been charged, reach out to our gun crimes attorneys in Tulsa for help. We can defend against your charges and potentially mitigate your responsibility for criminal accusations against you.

Can Domestic Violence Charges Affect Gun Ownership Rights?

In Oklahoma, being charged or convicted of domestic violence can have serious repercussions beyond just criminal penalties. One of the most significant consequences is the loss of the right to own or possess firearms. Under both federal and state laws, individuals convicted of domestic violence-related offenses are generally prohibited from owning or possessing firearms, even if the conviction is for a misdemeanor rather than a felony.

Oklahoma state law imposes additional restrictions on firearm possession for individuals facing domestic violence charges. A conviction for domestic violence, even without the use of a firearm during the incident, will result in the loss of the right to possess a gun. Moreover, if an individual is subject to a final protective order, they are prohibited from possessing firearms for the duration of the order. This applies even before a conviction if the protective order is related to a domestic violence claim.

Restoring gun rights after a domestic violence conviction is extremely difficult, and in most cases, the only way to regain those rights is to have the conviction pardoned or overturned.
