There is no permit required to carry concealed or unconcealed in the state of Arkansas! Act 746 of 2013 changed the law to recognize our right to keep and bear arms.

"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."
