We revised all of the questions in our Arkansas State Gun Laws page. The most significant revisions are as follows:
- Added the reasons why firearm possession is prohibited under state law to I am a victim of domestic violence and the abuser has a gun. Is that legal? and If the abuser has been convicted of a crime, can s/he keep or buy a gun? Previously, we only had information about when a person could be denied a license to carry a concealed weapon.
- Added information about denial of a concealed weapons license when a final order is in place to I have an order of protection against the abuser. Can s/he have a gun?
- Completely re-wrote I have a temporary (ex parte) order against the abuser. Can s/he have a gun? and What is the penalty if the abuser has a firearm in violation of the law? and I do not have a protection order against the abuser and s/he has not been convicted of a crime. Can s/he have a gun? to better explain Arkansas’s laws.
We also added a new statute related to firearm prohibition to our Selected Arkansas Statutes page.
