Arkansas Act 746 is very clear. There has not been one successful prosecution in Arkansas for carrying a handgun for self-defense purposes only since Act 746 took effect in August 2013. Hundreds of law-abiding women and men have open carried and concealed carried without a permit in plain view of law enforcement across the state without facing arrest. State office holders are proclaiming Arkansas as a Constitutional Carry state. Even the anti-gun University of Arkansas School of Law has stated that the legislature passed permit-less carry with Act 746. Prosecutors are refusing to prosecute any citizen who is arrested under this law.

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
