ETA: "defense to a prosecution" means you can still be arrested by a jackass JBT. BUT you'll walk.

When I researched Packing. org the result was unclear to me. According to the red text yes I can.
FL CCW laws are some of the best in the US

If your traveling through here and not breaking laws otherwise,  usually  you won't take any heat for a concealed firearm in your car,  use common sense.  If asked if your armed admit to it,  I dunno if Arkansas has reciprocity with FL or not on ccw.  Ill look it up for ya.

We do :D

I guess I am still unclear on the laws. I can conceal under my coat (with AR permit)
on the street a but can not have a loaded firearm in my car even with a permit.
As a AR citizen not Fl CCW holder.

Quoted: No loaded firearm can be in a car correct. CCW or not.

If you have a valid CCW permit, YOU CAN carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle in Arkansas.  It would be rediculous if we couldn't carry lock and loaded in our cars.  Hell, I probably wouldn't even bothered to get the license.  The main thing to remember is that it is a "Concealed" carry permit.

Arkansas does reciprocate and honor Florida permit holders.  As I understand it, You just have to follow AR law if it is less than/greater to your current state's laws when in AR.  This is where you do your research and make sure that you know any differences between the two states.

When I vacationed in FL, I called the State Police there and just verified some of the differences between AR and FL (There really wasn't much).  They were very helpful and even made sure that I had their name in case I had any problems or other questions.

Check out the AR State Police website.

Thanks DK!

I'm not sure if FL can get it, but Arkansas CCW holders can get a non-resident permit from New Hampshire that allows CCW reciprocity all the way to FL from Arkansas. I think it's only $20-$25. It requires a photo copy of your AR CCW card and AR DL. My friend got his back in a week or two.

A bunch of people have been getting UTAH CCW permits.  If you have Utah permits and AR , I think that covers the entire country for states that allow CCW at all.

Oh how I wish it were like drivers licenses and honored everywhere

Arkansas license is not even honored in all of the SE
