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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
