Can someone carry a firearm in their vehicle without a permit in Arkansas?

Yes, but only if the firearm is unloaded
Only in the glove compartment

The correct answer is: Yes, openly and concealed

In Arkansas, individuals are permitted to carry a firearm in their vehicle without a permit, as long as they are following certain guidelines that govern legality and responsible firearm handling. The law allows for both open and concealed carry of firearms within a private vehicle without requiring a concealed handgun carry license (CHCL). This means a person can have their firearm accessible while driving, which aligns with the state's approach to personal defense and firearm rights. It's important to note, however, that while no permit is needed for this type of carry, the firearm must still be handled in accordance with all other state laws. This includes considerations such as age restrictions, prohibitions for felons, and ensuring safety to avoid accidents. The other choices would impose restrictions or conditions that do not align with Arkansas law regarding firearm carry in vehicles.
