AR:Gun-Rights Advocates Schedule Open-Carry Walk

Gun-rights advocates have scheduled an open-carry “awareness walk” for Saturday in Van Buren, the second walk this month in the River Valley involving people openly carrying handguns in holsters.

The walk on Saturday is set to begin at 9 a.m. at the Van Buren Public Library parking lot, according to Steve Jones, chairman of Arkansas Carry, a statewide gun-rights group. From the library, the group will walk north on Main Street to North 20th Street, then cross Main Street and go south to Cane Hill Street. From that point, the group will walk back to the library, Jones said.

Jones said the walk on Saturday is intended to show that Act 746, approved by the 2013 General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Mike Beebe, “has decriminalized the possession of a handgun in plain view if a person does not intend to use that weapon unlawfully.” The act took effect Aug. 16.

I've linked your blog on the Arkansas law that enhanced your access to your absolute right to self defense.

That said, there will be many that find flying the flag of a notorious foreign government on a pro-rights blog to be very strange.
