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.
