In today’s world, personal safety is paramount, and obtaining your Arkansas Concealed Handgun Carry License (CHCL) is a smart move for several reasons. With a CHCL, you can protect yourself and your loved ones, especially in situations where law enforcement may not be immediately available. The licensing process provides essential training on firearm safety, Arkansas laws, and responsible carrying practices, equipping you with the knowledge and confidence to handle your firearm safely. Additionally, a CHCL grants you the legal peace of mind to carry in many places where it would otherwise be restricted, ensuring you are prepared and protected wherever you go.

Getting your Arkansas Concealed Handgun Carry License (CHCL) offers several benefits over relying solely on constitutional carry. While constitutional carry allows you to carry without a permit, having your CHCL gives you legal protection and peace of mind. With a CHCL, you gain access to more locations where carrying is permitted, you receive important training on firearm safety and laws, and you show a responsible commitment to understanding and practicing safe gun ownership. Additionally, having a CHCL can be beneficial when traveling to other states that honor Arkansas’s permit, expanding your ability to carry legally beyond state lines.

Now is the time to take that step and get your Arkansas Concealed Handgun Carry License! Stay vigilant. Stay safe. Stay free.

Requirements: Attendees must be age 21 or above (or 18 if you’re in the military) and legally eligible to own a handgun according to the CHCL guidelines set by the Arkansas State Police.
