Can non-residents apply for a concealed handgun carry license in Arkansas?

Yes, without restrictions
Yes, but only if they work in Arkansas
No, it's not allowed
Yes, but only for military personnel

The correct answer is: Yes, but only if they work in Arkansas

The correct answer is that non-residents can apply for a concealed handgun carry license in Arkansas, but they must work in the state. This reflects the specific legal provisions that allow non-residents who have a valid job in Arkansas to secure a license, thereby ensuring that they have a legitimate reason for wanting to carry a concealed handgun in the state. Non-residents who do not meet this work requirement do not have the eligibility to apply for the license. This provision ensures that people who are not permanent residents but have a significant connection to the state, like employment, can responsibly exercise their rights to carry a concealed firearm. Other responses differ in their interpretation of eligibility regulations. Some suggest that all non-residents can apply without any restrictions, which does not align with the actual law that requires a work-related connection. Others imply a blanket denial of non-resident applications or limit eligibility strictly to military personnel, which does not encompass the broader criteria set by state regulations.
