what is the concealed carry law in arkansas
As of August 16 , 2013 permits are no longer required to concealed carry a handgun when upon a journey . However , there is some confusion over the legality of permitless carry in Arkansas . For concealed carry , Arkansas still offers CCW permits on a `` shall issue '' basis . Open carry of handguns is permitted in some counties , and seems to be legal by a simple reading of the law , yet some Arkansas states officials deny that it is legal .
