      <description><![CDATA[I have and will continue to carry into businesses that do not properly post their &quot;carrying of a handgun prohibited&quot; signs. Whether because their verbiage is not stated exactly as required by the law or the sign is not posted properly at the entrance or at all entrances. Hot Springs mall does have a sign posted but it is not on the entrance and readable at a distance not less than ten feet nor is it posted at every entrance.  They DO have a standee on the INSIDE of the entrance but you would have technically broken the law once you enter the business which is why the law states at the entrance which is the door you open to go inside not a standee twenty feet inside.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Last time I visited PF Chang's they had a sign up. I can't remember the exact words, but it was clear they didn't want any firearms in their establishment.

Maybe if they could change their sign to say 'permit required' or something of that nature? It is a shame, their food is great!

Anyone compiled a list yet?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi folks, Scott Vaughn here in Jonesboro. 
About what Grant stated earlier, the sign MUST say those exact words in quotation marks, period. The quote marks make the term between them &quot;exact&quot;.
  There are signs in place all over the state that have been there since BEFORE act 219 of 1995 that allows conceal carry. Since the law changed in '95 the legislators made it plain what a legal sign is concerning CHL citizens,
  The real problem is: the police don't always know the law (concerning concealed handguns) as most departments aren't trained in this area (individuals firearm right's) so, SURE you could be arrested! It's better to be arrested than dead. (I'm using this statement about police departments knowledge of CHL law from my experience and information from law enforcement friends around this area and what another instructor stated in a different post of mine. He is also a Sergeant on a police force in another part of the state)
 Some say &quot;that's enough that the place has some kind of sign to keep me from carrying there&quot;. That is your right, but it is also your right to carry there if the sign isn't the legal term, placing and visibility. 
  I say if the place want's to disarm us from self protection, they are responsible for our protection while we are inside their place.
  You can choose to leave your gun outside. You can't generally choose your attacker, time or place.

      <description><![CDATA[Can anyone in Hot Springs run by McClard's and see if they still have their sign on the front door and check how it is worded?  It is bumper sticker size with the red circle-slash over a pistol on each end with wording in between.  Here is a link to their photo gallery.  If you click on the top left picture you can see the one I am talking about.  It is right in the center of the door.

Thank you for posting that section Grant, it makes my interpretation and comprehension of the law much clearer.

      <description><![CDATA[I see Grant's point as well,and the signs are for illegal activity,just as speed limits signs.The problem may be some business owners are outright anti-gun legal or not and may encourage some politicians and or law enforcement in any city to at least charge a legal CHL holder with disturbance or the like just to get them in court.
 Now if your CONCEALED it should not be an issue.
 
  I would like to see a complete statewide anti-CHL business list as well,maybe they
should take a stand instead of laying in the shadows.

Of course everyone to his choice. But I think I see Grants point. Many of the signs may be for illegal gun toters only and are worded for exactly that. Not to keep people who are legally licensed by the state from carring into a building or premises. Of course if this is truely the case, we would hope that all law enforcement would be in on the details as well.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I agree with Liberty.  If a business doesn't want me to conceal carry on their property; I won't.  Even a friends home; I won't carry, nor visit them.  

Instead of putting a list together for LR/NLR; we should put a list together for Arkansas state-wide.

So far I've seen only three or so places in this thread that prohibit weapons on their property.  My interest in this was to visit a couple of the places and maybe drop off a &quot;no weapons no money&quot; card saying thier loosing business by promoting a &quot;defenseless zone&quot; for criminals to take advantage of.  Maybe if enough law abiding citizens dropped similar &quot;no weapons no money&quot; cards off, if it would change their mindset of law abiding citizens carrying in their businesses.  Any comments/suggestions?  

If interested, I was emailed &quot;no weapons no money&quot; cards you can print out and carry around in your wallet.

      <description><![CDATA[While I may have the right to &quot;carry&quot; into a business w/o proper signage,
I personally treat said business as any persons or friends home that does not want
weapons on &quot;their&quot; property.I respect their right as a property owner as I would
expect others to respect mine. That being said I will not be buying from &quot;SPRINGHILL
LIQUOR any longer.
  Could we put some kind of &quot;list&quot; together on businesses that do not want our money in L.R.-NLR.

As you can see, the requirement states that the sign reading exactly, &quot;carrying a handgun is prohibited&quot; must be posted at each entrance.  

There are many of you who are reading into this unequivocal statute...you can choose not to carry because of many reasons...but to do it for innacurate readings of clearly written and interpreted law is unfortunate.

      <description><![CDATA[Mr. Cabaniss...you are completely wrong.  You might want to speak to a constitutional lawyer about the meaning on quotes in statutes such as these.  In doing so you find that they are intended to convey 'exactly' what is in the quotes.  This exact syntax for this requirement was done intentionally in 1995 to act as an impediment to restricting CHL holders.

The purpose of my and other postings by ARCCA officers is to clear up confusing and sometimes wrong posts on this site...not to interject opinion, especially on legal matters.

      <description><![CDATA[Grant, is the restriction only applicable if posted on the door entering the business or does it also apply if posted only inside, such as behind the cash register? Seems to me that posting behind the register and not on the entrance to the business would be entrapment.

      <description><![CDATA[The word &quot;exactly&quot; does not appear in the statute.  While I believe the sign should say the words &quot;exactly,&quot; I believe you are courting arrest entering a premises that has any kid of &quot;no gun&quot; signs (usually the european-style circle with a slash through a pistol sign).  Most officers are simply not going to differentiate because the sign is not worded &quot;exactly.&quot;]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Per AR criminal statute 5-73-306 (19(A), to properly prohibit a CHL from carrying into the premises, the sign must have text reading exactly, “Carrying a handgun is prohibited”.  All other signs are not applicable and you can walk right in with a smile on your face while packing as much heat as you wish.

      <description><![CDATA[Looking for those stinking signs? Try every hospital in the state and most doctor's offices.  There was a Sutherlands in Fort Smith who had a sign up, but eventually took it down after being &quot;discussed&quot; in several chl classes. People gotta know who the enemy is - misguided souls listening to the whining anti-gun rhetoric of people who just don't understand reality.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I noticed one posted behind the register (INSIDE) of the following liquor store on McCain Blvd in North Little Rock:
Springhill Wine &amp; Spirits
4201 McCain Blvd (off Hwy 167)
North Little Rock, AR 72116
Phone: (501)945-5153
I don't present any business to that store any longer as a result and shared my intentions with the manager on duty during my one and only visit to that establishment. He didn't seem to care much so I guess he doesn't need my business or that of anyone I know.

Little Rock Airport has a sign (sticker) on each of the entrance doors that is a picture of a gun with a line through it, however, I do not know if that qualifies as a legally posted sign or not. Perhaps Grant or one of the admins can pipe in with details on this.

      <description><![CDATA[Has anyone seen any &quot;No Gun&quot; signs posted on businesses in Arkansas.  I haven't ran across any yet.  Would be interested in responses with specific businesses that do have them.  Thanks.]]></description>
