Which of the following places is it illegal to carry a firearm in Arkansas, despite having a concealed carry permit?

State parks
Restaurants that serve alcohol
Courthouses
Private vehicles

The correct answer is: Courthouses

Carrying a firearm in courthouses is prohibited in Arkansas, even for individuals with a concealed carry permit. This restriction is in place due to the sensitive nature of court proceedings and the need to maintain a secure environment within the judicial system. Courthouses are places where legal matters are adjudicated, and the presence of firearms could potentially disrupt the proceedings or pose a safety risk to judges, jurors, and other participants. In contrast, other locations mentioned, like state parks and restaurants that serve alcohol, have specific regulations that allow concealed carry under certain conditions, while private vehicles are generally permitted to have firearms. This context highlights the unique legal status of courthouses in the state's gun laws.
