Buying gold in Oklahoma City, OK
Short answer: In Oklahoma City, bullion is generally exempt under Oklahoma law — but the Gold IRA side is federal, so it's identical to everywhere else.

One note for Oklahoma City buyers: local coin shops and national dealers price very differently, so it's worth getting a couple of quotes before you commit.
