Welcome to GO-AR Forum / GO-AR Annual Fundraiser 2025
« Last post by GOAR Admin on January 25, 2025, 11:22:24 am »
We’re excited to invite you to Gun Owners of Arkansas’ First Annual Fundraiser. We have been very successful over the years with minimal funding fighting and winning in the battle to retain and regain our inalienable rights in Arkansas. It’s a never-ending battle and now the ATF is making it difficult to be a law-abiding gun owner more than ever. Come join us for a fun time raising money to push back at those trying to disarm us.

Please join us for our First Annual GO-AR Fundraising Event, devoted to helping the 4 H Shooting Sports in Arkansas.

The process is out of our control but they do follow through and delete the permit for that name.

Ram, thanks for the response. I know my questions aren't easy to answer as the codes are very confusing. Hopefully an admin will reply with some insights. Especially on the "Stand Your Ground" question from the Flyer. I'll also check out the FB page.

Know Present Arkansas Gun Laws / Re: Do I need a Arkansas CHCL

This PDF has great info that's hard to figure out from the Weapons – Possession and Use Generally and Arkansas Concealed Handgun Carry Licensing Law docs.

I've researched these extensively, and some parts are still confusing on where a person can carry. In general, if a person has a CHCL (standard or basic) version, there are many places they can't legally carry that would be allowed without a permit. Having a CHCL is putting the person in a worse position than carrying without a license. It gets harder to determine the differences when comparing an E-CHCL vs No Permit. I have a few carry questions on them.
1 Is it correct that by getting the E-CHCL (enhanced version), it seems that a permit lets you carry everywhere that a person without a permit can carry?
2 Is it correct the only places a person with a E-CHCL vs. a person without a permit can carry is in publicly owned buildings or facilities?
3 Is there anywhere a person without a permit can carry that someone with a E-CHCL can't carry?
4 I thought you couldn't open carry with a CHCL but can open without one. The doc references Act 486 for the permit, but that act seems to deal with state parks and tourism funds.
5 Where does the code say you lose "Stand Your Ground" protections when carrying past no gun signs?

Thanks for taking the time to put all this info together.

Trespassing is vague and covers a wide range. Property owner has the right to restrict for any reason. It's their property. If you don't leave or comply then you can be charged. It's not a firearms specific statute so I don't have it at my fingertips. Look it up.

Without the permit there are no restrictions about carrying on private property. No obligation to inform. Morally is up to the individual and the individual situation. But remember that property rights trump your rights. If you're asked to remove the weapon or leave the property, you have to comply or risk a trespassing charge.

Do I Need A CHCL? / Surrendering CHCL
« Last post by guest94 on July 23, 2023, 09:14:30 pm »
So has anyone here or that you know of surrendered their AR CHCL?
The process seems to be pretty straightforward.
Yet how would one know or actually find out if the records had been updated or purged. You already know we can't trust our government, so how to trust the agencies and 3rd parties that have been involved in this scam all along?
Sort of like the ATF keeping records of gun purchases.
By mail I would certainly send it all registered signature required first off to make sure they received it.
But there should be some easier ways and a no (zero) cost for anyone to do so. Like handing it over at the local ASP troop HQs or county sheriff whenever I'm close to civilization and getting a notarized receipt or such.
