The state attorney general's office says those with concealed weapons permits can carry handguns into any city park in Arkansas, unless the park acts to ban them.
Attorney General Mike Beebe was asked to clarify the new state law allowing permit holders to carry concealed weapons into parks and restaurants. North Little Rock city attorney Paul Suskie questioned whether Arkansas criminal code already prohibits firearms in city parks.
A new law that took effect in mid-July makes concealed weapons permissible in parks and restaurants, but gives cities the ability to ban them. The attorney general's opinion says the new law's provisions prevail.
---
The North Little Rock City Council last month asked the city Parks and Recreation Commission to post signs prohibiting permit holders from carrying firearms into city parks. The parks commission has not made a final decision. The commission next meets September 15th.

Ignore the illegal signs, the elitist "permit" system, the 30,000+ illegal "gun control" legislative acts, and the other 90%+ of unconstitutional "laws". Be law abiding, become an outlaw!
Molon Labe!

If the city parks in Little Rock are anything like those in New York City, you need not only a concealed firearm, but several extra rounds of clips.

Yes.
Here in Texas, and not having a permit, if I were to carry concealed in one of the myriad "posted" places, it's merely a misdemanor if I'm caught.
If I had a "permit" and carried in one of these places, it would be a felony.
Guess what my choice is.

Please remind them of the liability risks if they BAN them. That L word scares the crap out of most city councilpersons.
