Unlike a standard concealed carry permit, the enhanced license also requires applicants to pass a live-fire drill test.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/arkansas-attorney-general-says-open-carry-is-now-ok-but-police-may-stop-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"arkansas-enhanced-concealed-carry-permit\" title=\"Arkansas to Allow Guns in Government Buildings, Colleges Thanks to 'Enhanced' Concealed Carry Permit\">Arkansas Attorney General Says Open Carry Is Now \u2018OK\u2019 \u2014 But Police May Stop You<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The live-fire drill requires applicants to take shots from 5, 7, and 15 yards at varying levels of speed. Each applicant must earn a score of 35\/50 or 70%, and can only retry the course three times. If they aren\u2019t able to complete the course after the third attempt they must wait six months before reapplying.<\/p>\n<p>The classroom work is also designed to ensure that enhanced license holders are prepared to handle threats effectively. It includes lessons on techniques for weapon retention and how to interact with law enforcement in an active shooter situation.<\/p>\n<p>Instructors will be required to pass a test within the first three months after the rules are finalized in order to offer training for the enhanced license.<\/p>\n<p>A number of additional states also offer enhanced concealed carry permits. In each instance, permit holders are required to complete additional training but are also given additional privileges. In some instances these permits are designed to allow holders greater reciprocity in other states, so they can travel out of state more easily with their firearm.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20170322\/governor-signs-nra-backed-personal-protection-bill-in-arkansas2\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"arkansas-enhanced-concealed-carry-permit\" title=\"Arkansas to Allow Guns in Government Buildings, Colleges Thanks to 'Enhanced' Concealed Carry Permit\">National Rifle Association<\/a> supported the Arkansas bill that created the new enhanced license, though some argue that requiring additional training to carry a firearm in specific locations violates the Second Amendment right to \u201cbear\u201d arms.<\/p>\n<p>Enhanced permits should be available in Arkansas in early next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year the Arkansas legislature created an \u201cenhanced\u201d concealed carry permit that allows permit holders to carry a firearm on college campuses and in government buildings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":81793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,216],"tags":[132,127,607,122,211],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-81792","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-concealed-carry","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-r2kba","14":"tag-training"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Arkansas to Allow Guns in Government Buildings, Colleges Thanks to &#039;Enhanced&#039;
