  2. Title 21

UNLAWFUL INTENT TO CARRY

Any person in this state who carries or wears any deadly weapons

or dangerous instrument whatsoever with the intent or for the avowed

purpose of unlawfully injuring another person shall, upon

conviction, be guilty of a Class D1 felony offense punishable by a

fine not exceeding Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), or by

imprisonment as provided for in subsections B through F of Section

20N of this title, or by both such fine and imprisonment. The mere

possession of such a weapon or dangerous instrument, without more,

however, shall not be sufficient to establish intent as required by

this section.

Any person convicted of violating the provisions of this section

after having been issued a handgun license pursuant to the

provisions of the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act shall have the license

revoked and shall be liable for an administrative fine of One

Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) upon a hearing and determination by the

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation that the person is in

violation of the provisions of this section.
