Is open carry of a handgun legal in Arkansas?

  1. Yes, without a permit

  2. Yes, but only with a permit

  3. No, it is not legal

  4. It depends on the local laws

The correct answer is: Yes, without a permit

Open carry of a handgun is legal in Arkansas without a permit. This means that a person is allowed to carry a handgun in public without a license or special permission. While some states require a permit for open carry, Arkansas is not one of them. Option B is incorrect because it states that a permit is required for open carry, which is not the case in Arkansas. Option C is incorrect because it states that open carry is not legal in Arkansas at all, which is not true. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that the legality of open carry depends on the local laws in Arkansas, when in fact the state law trumps local laws in this matter.
