The Attorney General finally issued the formal opinion confirming our rights under Act 746. We won this battle for Richard and for every gun owner across the state. Keep watching your local officials to ensure they follow the law correctly from here on out.

Richard Chambless of Bald Knob, AR has been arrested and found guilty of carrying a weapon and disorderly conduct. He was sentenced to 1 year probation, 15 days in jail, and a $2,160 fine. All this despite an Arkansas state law legally allowing him to open carry a firearm.
Constitutional carry (Act 746), of course, means that you can carry a firearm, open or concealed, without having to get the government’s permission — as long as you aren’t attempting to “unlawfully employ” it. Apparently though, not everyone in Arkansas understands how Act 746 works.
We need an official opinion from the Arkansas Attorney General's office to clarify Act 746 and protect all law abiding #2A patriots, including Richard Chambless.

It's a travesty that Richard's constitutionally protected rights, and all of ours, has been trampled on by people who swore an oath to uphold the constitution. Deprivation of Rights under the color of law is illegal, and charges should be brought up against those willing to do it. It is nothing short of Treason against this country.
We need a decision/ clarification regarding Act 746. We should have already received one. Everyone is wanting to know why this has/ is taking so long. This issue is NOT going away.
This case, from the video, appears to be nothing more than harassment of a legal gun owner. And since when does owning a scanner constitute intent to commit a crime?!? I know a lot of people who own scanners and "HAM radios". This just makes the BKPD (especially the guy at the desk) look like smart-alleck bullies.
This man was polite and co-operative. He was charged for nothing it seems. It also seems the locals were much more offended by his having a scanner than anything else if one watches the arrest video. Drop this, and let this man go home.
They have to prove that he intends harm and he didn't intend anything other than legally carrying a firearm... It's sad that we are having to fight for a constitutional right...
The 2nd Amendment is all the permit required!
Simple question? Somebody tell me how you can license, legislate or even restrict a right that is written in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.... Why is Arkansas always the butt end of every joke? This is why, it's raining and everyone is to stupid to get out of it!

The law is perfectly written in Arkansas, and was perfectly written into the Bill of Rights ... Shall Not Be Infringed ... I voted for out Attorney General because of her vocal stance for Constitutional Carry, Now it is time for her to give her official opinion!
