Is it legal to carry a firearm in my vehicle into Arkansas while on vacation?  I intend to meet some friends for a canoe trip for a couple of days.  Does it need to be unloaded separated from ammo?  

Thanks

That might get you a lecture about it not being useful in an emergency

Do you have a concealed carry permit from LA?   You must not or probably wouldn't be asking the question.   Generally Arkansas is now considered a Constitutional Carry state.  I say generally because it is experiencing some push back.   Most LE will leave you alone if you don't act like a jackwagon.   If you're going to be in the woods however Game & Fish is a different story.   Sorry we don't have a better answer because a few have experienced the push back themselves.    The pendulum is swinging more in our favor however.

Unloaed: yes

Loaded and concealed (with recip permit): yes

Loaded and open carried: Maybe, depends on the level of jackwadishness you display and the level of jackwadishness possessed by those who see the weapon.



 

My CCW expired 2 years ago.

when you say firearm are you referring to the atf legal definition or just generally throwing it out as a term to cover "guns"
most LE (and most here) are unaware of what falls into the firearm category they do however no the difference between a rifle and a handgun
to get a more accurate answer you should specify what category of gun you will have AOW is a catch all category for anything that wont fit into any other category and firearm is a category that takes what wont fit into any category including aow
I regularly carry my firearms and rifles in the car with ammo and accessories.

if its hunting season and you have a hunting rifle AFG will make a case if they feel like its a good idea

yes I am being a dick

I'm talking about a Springfield XDM 9mm or a .38 revolver.  Something to shoot a dick in the face with if I need to protect my family while I'm there.

Go here and read about your state and your surroundings States.  Short answer is yes you can carry,  you are on a journey......

I think dick head is a plus for AGF applicants

This isn't Texas.

 

It certainly seems to be so for ASP applicants. Although I have met 2 in the previous 22 years that weren't.
