Can I have a handgun in my vehicle in Arkansas?

I don't have an answer. But it's a questioned I've wondered, too. The residents debated it on one of the AR sites. For them, they must be "on a journey" as the law states. There's also some limits and considerations concerning with in a county or across county lines. I have seen nothing that clearly states OOSer reciprocity rules / rights.

Thanks for the response. I read about the 'journey' part, too.

Just talked to a cop in Ark. It has to be unloaded and cased. Cannot be in the console, side door or glove box. If you don't have a CCP, then you'll be considered "carrying a weapon" if loaded.

Did he say what applies to OOSers with a CCP?

[Greenhead22]

He said conceal it.

Doesn't sound like they've been told to pay any attention to the "with purpose to attempt..." part. Noted. I'll spend as little time and money in their state as I can.

I've had mine loaded in the side of my door for the 10 yrs I've hunted up there. Glad I just found out.

MS is the only state I know of that has the "extension of your home" law where you don't need a handgun carry permit to have a loaded gun in your car. In TN, we don't have Concealed Carry permits. It's just a Hangun Carry Permit as you can legally carry open if you're wanting pretend to be a badass. Safe bet is just get a carry permit and you can go most places. Otherwise you need to have it unloaded and cased.

Thanks, but the link has the same vague language that was of no use and caused me to post here.
