Would you vote FOR a bill legalizing licensed open carry in Arkansas, similar to Tennessee’s law?

Yes [1]

Comment

I assume here that the "license" merely insures the bearer is not a felon and has passed a safety/firearms use training similar to that required for a concealed carry permit. It may or may not be issued by the Arkansas State Police.

Would you vote FOR a bill legalizing the open carry of firearms in rural, unincorporated areas only for persons engaged in hunting, fishing, hiking and camping activities?

Would you vote FOR a bill legalizing unlicensed concealed carry in Arkansas while still protecting the ‘CHCL’ program for those wishing to have reciprocity with other states?

Yes [A1]

Comment

Issuing agency may or may not be the Arkansas State Police.

Would you vote FOR a bill that allowed churches to decide whether congregants may carry a concealed weapon – and if so, who may carry them?  Currently, the law specifically forbids concealed carry in churches.

Yes [A1]

Comment

Would you vote FOR an employer parking lot bill that would protect workers with an Arkansas CHCL from being fired for having a legally possessed firearm in their vehicles, for the purpose of defending his or herself coming to/from work?

Yes [A1]

Comment

In a written opinion, the Arkansas State Attorney General said our current journey law needs to be defined. Would you vote FOR a bill that defined a “journey” under Arkansas gun law as leaving one’s “voting precinct”?

Unsure [A3]

Comment

I would vote for it if that was the best we could pass; however, I agree with the dictionary definition of journey: "the act of traveling from one place to another". No minimum distance or time requirement is necessary.
