The Arkansas govt finally remembered that the Constitution forbids any govt from making laws restricting or prohibiting law-abiding citizens from carrying weapons, either openly or concealed. And they made a law agreeing with it.
How nice.
Four states now have this law. 53 to go.

Arkansas restores constitutional carry no permit or license required to carry weapons
June 13, 2013
Starting next month Arkansas will join Vermont, Alaska, Wyoming and Arizona as a Constitutional Carry state. This means that no permit or license will be required to carry weapons, either openly or concealed for lawful purposes.
Arkansas law will handle people carrying guns the same way many state laws handle possession of tools of burglary. Normally you can get away with carrying common hand tools anywhere you otherwise have a right to be. But if you are caught trying to use them in an attempt at breaking and entering or even trespassing you can be charged with a crime based on obvious intent to use that tool in furtherance of a crime. This is an excellent way to deal with people carrying guns. As long as you are not harming, or attempting to harm others with a weapon then possession alone should not be a crime.
The burden of proof has shifted to the accuser (the state) who now has to prove that you are up to no good rather than you simply have the POTENTIAL for crime based on ready access to a weapon.
