How buying a gun in Lawton works

Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Oklahoma law allows.

Hunting licences, tags and season dates come from the state wildlife agency, not from the dealer; the dealer handles the firearm transfer described here. Oklahoma has no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. Federal age limits apply: 21 for a handgun from a dealer, 18 for a long gun. The firearm ships to the Oklahoma dealer you name, who charges their own transfer fee. The dealer runs the federal background check when you complete ATF Form 4473.

Dealers in these communities all work for Lawton-area buyers:

  • Fort Sill
  • Cache
  • Elgin
  • Medicine Park
  • Geronimo
  • Fletcher
  • Duncan
  • Chickasha

Carrying a gun in Comanche County

Oklahoma has allowed permitless carry since November 2019 for adults 21 and over, and 18 to 20-year-olds with military service, openly or concealed. The Self-Defense Act licence is still issued by the OSBI through the Comanche County Sheriff and is worth holding for reciprocity. Schools, courthouses, government buildings and posted property remain off limits.

Hunting near Lawton

Oklahoma's deer gun season opens on the third Saturday in November and runs sixteen days, with muzzleloader in late October and archery from October 1 to mid-January. Centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal statewide, and antlerless days vary by zone. Feral hogs may be taken year-round on private land, day and night.

Comanche County holds the Wichita Mountains, with a wildlife refuge that draws elk and deer hunts by lottery, and mixed-grass prairie that opens deer gun season on the third Saturday in November.

The Wichita Mountains refuge hunts are drawn and the prairie leases are open, so bolt rifles in flat-shooting calibres suit the wind and distance here.

Public shooting ranges near Lawton

These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive out to sight in.
