RV/Car Carry Without a Permit/License
Arkansas Code Annotated 5-73-120. Carrying a Weapon.
(a) A person commits the offense of carrying a weapon if he or she possesses a handgun, knife, or club on or about his or her person, in a vehicle occupied by him or her, or otherwise readily available for use with a purpose to attempt to unlawfully employ the handgun, knife, or club as a weapon against a person.
(b) As used in this section:
(3) "Journey" means travel beyond the county in which a person lives;
(c) It is permissible to carry a handgun under this section if at the time of the act of carrying a weapon:
(4) The person is carrying a weapon when upon a journey, unless the journey is through a commercial airport when presenting at the security checkpoint in the airport or is in the person's checked baggage and is not a lawfully declared weapon;
Note: The Arkansas Attorney General has released an Official Opinion on Open and Permitless Carry on a journey. With confusion surrounding the law changes of 2013 this opinion gives some guidance to those who carry.
An AG Opinion is just that an Opinion and not law but does carry weight with local Prosecutors and Police.
The AG Opinion even states: “that legal gun owners are free to openly carry or ride with their weapons but should be ready to field inquiries from law enforcement personnel wondering why they're carrying.”
Handgunlaw.us highly recommends you read the opinion and use caution if you decide to Open Carry as the opinion is not Law. There is a case moving through the courts in Arkansas that will finally decide this issue. The opinion states that Open Carry without a permit/license is legal.
The Opinion states Permitless carry, either open or concealed, while in a vehicle while on a “Journey” is legal in Arkansas.
Concealed carry without a permit while on a journey in Arkansas is legal.
Again read the opinion it is not that long and gives examples of what is legal and what is illegal and how the law should be applied. Again use caution.
