Arkansas Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Under Arkansas law, who is prohibited from possessing a firearm?

1. Convicted felons

2. Persons under 21

3. First-time offenders

4. Non-residents

The correct answer is: Convicted felons

Under Arkansas law, convicted felons are prohibited from possessing a firearm. This is because felons have been found guilty of committing a serious crime and have shown a disregard for the law. They are considered a potential threat to the safety of others if allowed to possess a firearm. The other options, persons under 21, first-time offenders, and non-residents, are not specifically prohibited from possessing a firearm under Arkansas law. However, there may be certain restrictions or requirements for these individuals to legally possess a firearm. For example, persons under 21 may need to have parental consent or complete a firearms safety course. First-time offenders may have restrictions until their case is resolved. Non-residents may need to obtain a license to carry a firearm in Arkansas.
