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

Yes, without any restrictions
Yes, but only in rural areas
No, it's illegal in all circumstances
Yes, but with some restrictions

The correct answer is: Yes, but with some restrictions

Although open carry without a license is technically legal in Arkansas, it is not without restrictions. For example, Arkansas law prohibits open carry in certain places such as schools, courthouses, and bars. Additionally, there are some cities and counties within Arkansas that have their own restrictions or bans on open carry. Therefore, option D is the correct choice as it acknowledges the fact that open carry is legal, but also accounts for the various restrictions that must be followed. Option A is incorrect because there are restrictions in place. Option B is incorrect because open carry is not only legal in rural areas. Option C is incorrect because open carry is not completely illegal in Arkansas.
