What is required to legally carry a concealed handgun in Arkansas?

  1. A driver's license

  2. A hunting license

  3. A Concealed Handgun Carry License (CHCL)

  4. A background check only

The correct answer is: A Concealed Handgun Carry License (CHCL)

To legally carry a concealed handgun in Arkansas, it is required to obtain a Concealed Handgun Carry License (CHCL). The law specifies that individuals must complete an approved training course and pass a background check to qualify for this license. This ensures that those carrying concealed handguns have received proper safety training and are not prohibited from owning a firearm due to legal reasons. The CHCL demonstrates that the individual has met the necessary legal and training standards set by the state, thereby promoting responsible firearm ownership and public safety. Other options such as a driver's license, a hunting license, or merely undergoing a background check do not fulfill the specific requirements set for concealed carry and lack the comprehensive training component necessary for the CHCL.
