Over at Arkansas Carry, we're painting a map county by county, to show where the change in law is recognized and honored, versus where lawful carriers are still subject to arrest.

Subject: RE: Training or guidance on Act 746
According to the information received from the Attorney General, the only operational change in the statute was that a JOURNEY was defined as a resident leaving the county in which he/she resides.
To my knowledge, there have been no TEST CASES as the result of arrests. Yet.
Absent a concealed carry permit, subjects in Texarkana, Arkansas are still subject to arrest for CPW under Act 746. We've received no change in operational procedures from any COURT ORDER, or recommendation from any PROSECUTOR.

I will check with the Prosecuting Attorney to see if the interpretation changes anything. Currently if any of the listed weapons are in a person’s possession away from their residence it is implied they are for unlawful intentions. I will let you know what they say.
