Thinking of moving to Arkansas. Pistols are banned from a lot of places. What gives?

This NW corner of Arkansas used to be dirt poor and hick hillbilly. When Sam Walton began his Wal-Mart things began to change. The new power plant 40 years ago gave new tax dollars and the schools are now some of the best in the area.
Medical facilities are great! I had a heart valve implant 28 years ago at Springdale. SIX hospitals close by in Siloam Springs, Gravette, Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, and Fayetteville. Excellent clinics and VA facilities here.

As for the “no guns allowed” pay no attention to them as crime is not great in this area. I haven’t carried HERE in 50 years. Now going to TULSA OK is a different matter.

If you have a problem with Arkansas, there is Eastern Oklahoma. Grove OK is nice with the lakes, Missouri used to be good but they have fallen on hard times over the last 50 years.
It is not our “home” but we have adjusted to it.

Check out the Missouri Ozarks.
Low cost of living, low taxes, cheap groceries, fish year round, deer and turkey in the woods.
Shoot your gun.
Did I mention low taxes ?

My goal is two places: one in town, the other in the deep woods, possibly a small cabin. I live on 90 acres now and can shoot of my front porch. I’ve grown to appreciate this. Maybe Missouri is in the cards for a weekend place.

This statement bothers me. This is RINO speak.

Our nephew is the Vice Chancellor at University of Arkansas in Ft Smith. It’s a beautiful little town and they love it there. Short distance to Oklahoma.

This is beautiful country. Problem is, I’m from the northeast and i see a lot of signs of trouble here. This place could go really left, really quick.
