Is a Oklahoma Non-Resident Permit Valid in Georgia?

Why

• Oklahoma does not issue carry permits to non-residents (oklahoma residency (us citizen or lawful permanent resident with established oklahoma residency) is required. active-duty military stationed in oklahoma and their spouses may apply using stationing orders in lieu of an oklahoma id; other non-residents cannot obtain an sda license).

SB 319 defines 'any person licensed to carry a weapon in any other state' as a lawful weapons carrier, with no residency or permit-type qualifier, so resident and non-resident permits from every state are effectively honored. The Attorney General separately maintains a formal reciprocity list (32 states) relevant mainly to Georgia licensees traveling outbound.
