- Travel through Arkansas is basically like Texas, with one exception. In
- Arkansas, if you are stopped by police, etc..., they may confiscate your
- weapon if it is loaded and in the passenger compartment. You may go to
- court and plead innocent, citing the law that establishes the right to
- carry while traveling and are supposed to get your weapon back. I don't
- know anyone who this has happened to, but it could be a little difficult,
- since they could actually take possession of your property.
-
- I lived in MO also, but can't remember exactly how it was done there. I
- think it is more like "don't carry anytime". I do know that when I went to
- the range, I kept guns and ammo separated.
-
- Good luck with it.
-
- BTW call NRA and ask for the booklets on Firearms Laws in Texas, Arkansas,
- and Missouri. They are free and summarize the state laws well.
