Read the Flyer that lists the pros and cons of an 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.

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.
