    Too many people consider an AG opinion to be law, or precedent.

    Can't be........clearly. Simply, if for no other reason, than the last two AG's in this state are diametrically opposed in their opinions. As well may be the next one.

    The best case for a concrete understanding is if/when the Bald Knob case that just got a conviction in municipal court is appealed (which it will be) and finally heard and adjudicated by a meaningful court.

    Police officer told me recently there is no open carry in Arkansas. Most don't enforce it but you can be prosecuted for it.

    AG just disputed that. Previous one agreed. Bald Knob nutbag Chief disagreed.

    We ain't gonna know till a higher court rules. Period.

    I'm pretty sure, as of RIGHT now, we in Arkansas can open carry. Now we just have to get all the law enforcement on the same page, or rewrite the law.

    And QA's LEO disagrees.

    I keep saying, it's all a meaningless opinion UNTIL a higher meaningful court rules. You can opine all you want.

    Do you scream at the moon ???? You know, only one person was arrested for open carry and it was because of a earlier incident ? It's legal, they said it on the news, so did that link, you can't be arrested for something that is legal ! Good grief ......

    You THINK it's legal. It MAY be. This AG said it is. The previous said NO IT ISN'T.

    Do you ever listen to anything other than those reverberating voices in your head????

    Ummmm, stupid question ... If the PRESENT AG says it's legal ... does it really matter what the PREVIOUS AG said?

    You are NOT quoting the top source in the State. That's what I'm telling you.

    The Chief Justice of The Arkansas Supreme Court is the top legal source in the State. You are quoting a Lawyer.

    Google (if you know how) "How binding is an AG opinion?" and read all night, if you want. But you are dead wrong.

    Yes.

    It matters because both are (duh) OPINIONS and not binding legal precedents.

    This is like talking to kindergarten kids. Did any of you take Civics in school anywhere?

    Duh.

    I'm saying neither the News nor the Ark AG gets to decide what is actually legal.

    Rutledge, while maintaining that she does not encourage “open carry”, said a person may carry a weapon in plain view if they are not violating state or federal law.

    Sigh.

    Knock yourself out, man. Let us know how it turns out. I am not calling anyone. They would be as recalcitrant and stubborn as you are, I don't doubt.

    But it's clear that you must be a Liberal Democrat. Because you have no intentions of listening to the 'other' side of any argument. You just want to talk and not listen. You've said the same thing over and over, and not paid one minute's attention to what I have said.

    I'm right on this one. Sorry.
