Arkansas: 89th General Assembly

[Spats McGee]

I've decided to start a thread for the 89th General Assembly. The primary purpose of this thread is to allow my fellow Arkansans to keep an eye on our legislators:

looks like a good start...they need to add k-12 to the carry legislation.

HR 1003 and HB 1012 seem at ends

 

[Spats McGee]

It may seem that way, but, well, how shall I put this? Let's call it: The author of HB 1012 used a "variant definition" of the word "cooperate." Basically, it says that any federal agents who are not designated as LE by state law must get permission from the local sheriff or our AG to make arrests any any non-federal ground in Arkansas.

Thanks Spats, I'll be following.
Really, I believe the make up of the Leg. this session is highly favorable to the 2ndA.

HB 1012 looks to be a strong declaration of state sovereignty. I'll send Denny a note thanking him for that one.

Hope it gets some traction.

Is there anything about open carry? Oklahoma has it now.

I haven't seen anything about OC yet, but I'll update this thread as bills roll in.
