Arkansas does not require a purchase permit, waiting period, or firearm registration. Dealers conduct the federal NICS check. Buyers must present a current photo ID with their address and complete ATF Form 4473. Federal age limits apply: 21 for handguns and 18 for rifles and shotguns. Online orders ship to the Arkansas FFL dealer you choose, and transfer fees are set by that dealer.
Dealers in these communities all work for Little Rock-area buyers:
Arkansas does not require a license to carry a concealed handgun. Act 777 of 2023 clarified that a concealed carry license is not necessary in the state. Arkansas State Police still issue standard and enhanced concealed handgun carry licenses, primarily for residents traveling to states that recognize them. The standard license age is 21, or 18 for active duty, Guard, and reserve members.
Arkansas deer seasons are divided by zones. In the Little Rock area, modern gun season runs November 14 to December 6, 2026, with a late segment December 26 to 28. Archery season spans late September to February, and muzzleloader season occurs in October and December. The zone boundary runs through the metro area, so confirm your hunting location on the Game and Fish mapper before purchasing tags. Feral hogs may be taken on private land year-round, but on wildlife management areas, they may only be hunted incidentally during an open big game firearms or archery season.
Hunting in Pulaski County is primarily on private leases, with public access at Camp Robinson and Bell Slough units north of the river. The Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation Shooting Sports Complex in Jacksonville is the closest staffed shotgun range.
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission headquarters is located here, and the Arkansas River corridor offers accessible outdoor spaces for shooters and hunters near the city.
The public ranges listed on the city pages are run or listed by state wildlife agencies, state forests or the U.S. Forest Service. Many ask for a hunting license, a range pass or a small fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive.
