Yesterday, Arkansas officially joined Alaska, Arizona, Wyoming and Vermont as a Constitutional Carry state.
ZitatArkansas law will now consider people carrying guns the same way many state laws handle possession of any kind of hand tools, so-called “tools of burglary.” Normally, you can get away with carrying common hand tools anywhere you otherwise have a right to be. But if you are caught trying to use them in an attempt of breaking and entering or even trespassing, you can be charged with a crime based on obvious intent to use that tool in a crime. As long as you are not harming, or attempting to harm others with a weapon, then possession alone should not be a crime.
Meanwhile, a state judge in Mississippi has blocked the state's new open carry law from taking effect yesterday. Mississippi's Attorney General immediately asked the Mississippi Supreme Court to throw out the judge's order.
Interestingly, three of the five Constitutional Carry states have enacted their laws during Obama's reign of destruction.
