I did call the state park and was told that NO firearms were allowed in Arkansas State Parks. This seems to go against Arkansas Law that I've read. I do carry, but this question was for her. Most LEO'S look out for one another, but there are rare occasions where they don't. She's a shorts and tee shirt girl and doesn't usually hide her gun when walking from a hotel room to the truck. It's not an issue in Louisiana and we have no issues open carrying in Louisiana State Parks as it's legal. Just wanting to see if anyone else has had an issue in Arkansas. I think the State Park rep needs to be updated on their state laws.
You could be running into park rules versus state law. Park rules would govern IMO
Law states " Any place at the discretion of the person or entity exercising control over the physical location of the place by placing at each entrance to the place a written notice clearly readable at a distance of not less than ten feet (10') that "carrying a handgun is prohibited".
Also why would your girl need a hand gun on her person on vacation?
I do carry a shotgun for protection in my RV so I understand that aspect but carrying a firearm around people who do not know she is a LEO could be disconcerting to them and bring undue attention to you both. I can just see you both being swatted in the middle of the night
