    Arkansas is a permitless open and concealed carry state. Anyone that can legally possess a handgun can carry concealed. Just cannot carry into most public buildings. Except rest areas and weigh stations. You can carry there.

    You have not spent the night in Oakland Ca when a drug deal goes bad and it sounds like I was back in Middle East.

    I used to take a quick nap on Hegenberger over by the Coliseum in a day cab. Ya you'd hear shootings but if you were minding your own business you'd be left alone. That was 10 years ago. Now I wouldn't refuel there. Violence has become normal in some areas. Protect yourself. There are things worse than dieing, a beating could leave you a permanent invalid.

    Another thing. Just because you have a firearm doesn't mean that you have to use it. Usually the fact that you are not a easy victim will de-escalate the situation.

    Incorrect... SHE is the trucker, and she was arrested for spraying her boyfriend with Bear Spray.

    Geezus all these bad answers are ridiculous. 1st check what states recognize your states cc permit. All those states you're good to carry. The other states see what their laws are for carrying a gun in your vehicle. Example if you are legal owner of a gun in California you can carry it in your truck if it's locked away and ammo is in another place
