TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING WAR REENACTMENTS AT SCHOOLS; AND TO PERMIT AN UNLOADED FIREARM OR REPLICA OF A FIREARM AT CERTAIN WAR REENACTMENTS AT SCHOOLS.
SB 138 expands the types of historical war reenactments permitted on school property in Arkansas. It allows "war reenactors" to carry unloaded firearms or replicas of historical weapons on school grounds for educational purposes. This applies to reenactments of the Revolutionary War, Civil War, French and Indian War, Mexican-American War, and War of 1812. Such activities are only permitted with advance approval from a school official, and any firearm used must be unloaded.
