Carrying a gun in Jefferson County
Arkansas law, clarified in 2021, allows adults 18 and over who are not prohibited to carry a handgun openly or concealed without a licence. Courthouses, schools, polling places and posted property stay off limits. The concealed handgun carry licence and enhanced licence are issued by the Arkansas State Police and add reciprocity and access to some posted places.
