Amendment 5 specifically removed the power of the legislature to regulate concealed weapons.

So, yes I suppose one needs to challenge the law regarding CCW ( 571 RSMO). Since my license is valid until 2019, I guess I am not injured by the laws right now. On the other hand, if I simply leave my CCW license home and eventually get the attention of a LEO, I could claim the Amendment negates my CCW license requirement, but since not having my license on my person while going about concealed is merely a citation, I doubt any traction would be gained; on the other hand, CCW licensees may carry openly any where not otherwise prohibited, once could draw attention perhaps much faster by open carry w/o license on hand.

but it has recently been successfully argued, by a convicted felon, that the new law allows him to legally carry. There is no language that limits it to non-felons. The current law only allows legislators to create laws that will restrict, but does not list any restrictions. Sneaky bastards know exactly how laws and ammendments are written to be vague.

FYI, Arkansas is not a pure constitutional carry state. Open carry OK but concealed carry still requires a permit.
