I like living in Arkansas and we don't have extremely restrictive gun laws, but we're not in the top 5 I don't think.
For starters, you can't carry concealed without a permit on your person. The new law everyone is referring to merely describes what a journey is for carry in your vehicle. It doesn't specifically state that, but I suspect there will be a test case soon that will go to the courts and we will find out for sure. However, even if there is and we as gun owners win, you have to be on a journey. You won't be able to go to the store in your own county of residence while carrying. People are saying it's Constitutional Carry now, but its not.
2. We do not have the option of open carry.
3. Signs carry the weight of the law here. If an establishment posts a "No Firearms" sign, you are violating the law if you carry there.
Like I said, we are pretty good, but for the above reasons, I wouldn't put us top 5.
