can you carry a gun into a Bank? or School? Can you carry you firearm into the AR statehouse, or into a Arkansas court room?
As long as I don't pull it out unless my life, or some other individuals life, is in immediate threat, that a lethal weapon is required to eliminate the threat to life.
I'm not a huge gun nut. I don't even own one currently, but I believe citizens should have the right to own guns.
I'm too exhausted to look up stats right now, but I suspect that gun-related crime and homicide rates are lower in these states (Arkansas, Alaska, Wyoming, Arizona and Vermont) than they are in a lot of others. Of course for the most part these places don't have huge urban-decay metro areas (Phoenix, Arizona might be the biggest) and that might be one factor.
I've lived in Wyoming and Arizona and don't remember a lot of gun fatalities or anything in the news, etc.

Well considering you can't do that in most States, probably not.
Why not? Arkansas state house or court house are public places, Are not conservatives telling everyone that Lawmakers should live with the same laws they pass on the gerenal public?
Why would there be a restriction on carring a fiream in a public place? Seems like a restiction of the 2nd Amendment.

Believe it or not there are laws, and self respecting gun owners will respect the law. Because you say they are public, they are still governmental, and why would you want someone to be able to carry when going to court?
Are you saying you would want people to be able to carry into a court house and kill the person before going to trial?

It's not restriction, it's common sense....
You presume everyone that carries a gun into court is going to shoot someone. Why shouldn't that same logic extend to the public street? It's ok to shoot someone on a public street but not a court room?
If gun owners can live with common sense laws resticting gun usage, then why all adulation of the Arkansas Law?
One would gather that this law totally restores a gun owners right to use his firearm in any maner in which he chooses...
Thank you for pointing out that this law does not do that. There are still permits and restrictions on gun ownership and usage.
