Is open carry of a handgun without a permit legal in Arkansas?

  1. Yes, without any restrictions

  2. Yes, but only in rural areas

  3. No, it is not legal

  4. Yes, but with certain restrictions

The correct answer is: Yes, but with certain restrictions

In Arkansas, it is legal to openly carry a handgun without a permit, but there are certain restrictions that must be followed. These restrictions include not carrying the gun into certain locations such as schools, government buildings, or places that primarily sell alcohol. Therefore, while open carry is allowed, it is not completely unrestricted as option A suggests. Option B is incorrect as rural areas do not have different laws for open carry. Option C is also incorrect as open carry is legal with restrictions, not entirely prohibited.
