Arkansas law, clarified in 2021, allows adults 18 and over who are not prohibited to carry a handgun openly or concealed without a licence. The concealed handgun carry licence and enhanced licence are issued by the Arkansas State Police and add reciprocity and access to some posted places. Courthouses, schools, polling places and posted property stay off limits.
Arkansas divides the state into numbered deer zones; modern gun season opens on the second Saturday in November, with muzzleloader in October and December and archery from late September. Centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal, and bag limits differ by zone. Feral hogs may be taken year-round on private land; the rules on public land are tighter.
Pulaski County is Zone 12 with modern gun from the second Saturday in November; hogs are year-round on private land in the bottoms east and south of the city.
The Game and Fish Foundation complex in Jacksonville and the Camp Robinson firing range are both state-run and close; night hog hunters here run rifle lights and thermal.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you go.
