The law seems clear to me. If you are not carrying with the intent to use the weapon unlawfully, then you are presumably not breaking the law. Of course, other laws, such as trespass, apply.

But, if you are doing nothing wrong, are you permitted to violently resist unlawful arrest? I bet the “courts” would say no.

Seems to me the good people of Arkansas need to stage a march on Harrison with several thousand people carrying arms peaceably and openly. Maybe then the idjits who run the town will get the message.

The City Attorney has given up his ability to prosecute open carry.

Keyword “unlawfully”. The only recognized official arbiters are police, whether correct or incorrect. The decision rests with the District Attorney. Final judgment by a judge in a court of law.

IOW, they can make up anything they want to. You have to prove through law and impartial judgment they are wrong.

Disgusting.

“...with the intent to use the weapon unlawfully...”

This totally bogus. So the LEO stops ya, makes a determination that you had intent, perhaps by getting snarky by telling him what the law is, arrests you, and then off you go to court to get exonerated. This law should be void for vagueness.
