Is it legal to possess a machine gun or fully automatic firearm in Arkansas with a regular concealed carry license?

Yes
No
Yes, with special permission
Yes, but only for historical collections

The correct answer is: No

In Arkansas, the possession of machine guns and fully automatic firearms is strictly regulated under both state and federal law. Individuals must comply with the National Firearms Act (NFA) to legally own such firearms, which includes a thorough background check, the payment of a tax stamp, and registration of the firearm with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). A regular concealed carry license does not permit the owner to bypass these laws or possess fully automatic firearms. Therefore, it is not legal to possess a machine gun or fully automatic firearm in Arkansas simply with a regular concealed carry license, making the selection indicating that it is not legal the correct choice. Special permissions or licenses under federal guidelines are required for legal possession of these types of firearms, which is why the other options, including those suggesting legality under certain conditions, do not align with the legal framework governing such firearms.
