Well, I've been putting it off, because I didn't know where I would move this summer, and Arkansas has moderately annoying laws. Well, I'm staying here, and starting law school - which is located in the GHETTO! I started thinking about it last night, and I realized I had a lot of questions. First of all, what is the best backpack with a built-in pocket for a gun? With my size, my clothes, and my gun, it really would be very difficult for me to pull off a concealed carry on my actual body. I guess I could get a small gun, but I like my .45, and I still think it would be uncomfortable and hard to conceal. Also, I'm not sure how to deal with actually going to school, since I can't carry AT the school. Since it's located in the ghetto, I want the gun with me when I go to and from school, but I'm not sure about leaving it in the car. What's the safest way to do that? My second question is - how do you know exactely where you're allowed to carry? I know what the list is, according to the law, but I'm kind of worried... for example "Any public park, unless for the purpose of participating in any authorized firearms-related activity." - so if I walk my dog, I can't walk through a park? And can I really assume that any place that is not on the list, and that doesn't have a big sign at the front of the building, is okay to carry in? So many of the places that I would actually be going to are on the no-no list (school, government buildings, courts, parks, church, restaurants, bars) that I guess it comes back to finding a safe way to leave it in my car. How do you guys handle this?
