Fans at Arkansas games will soon be able to carry concealed weapons, including guns, into Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed a law on Wednesday allowing weapons in various publicly funded buildings across Arkansas. The Razorbacks’ home football stadium is included, as are basketball’s Bud Walton Arena and other athletic venues at the university.
The law was known as HB1249 in Arkansas legislature. Other locations where guns are allowed include is the state Capitol and other buildings at state colleges. The law goes into effect Sept. 1.
The University of Arkansas athletic department did not immediately comment on the bill’s passage.

</figure>Not until 2018

It is unlikely, however, Natural State residents can bring weapons to games until 2018. Police departments anticipate being prepared to handle the adjustment by then, according to The Associated Press.
Indoor clubs at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium serve alcohol. Under the new law, attendees in those clubs would also be able to bring their weapons.
Other items previously banned inside stadiums and arenas will still be prohibited. Those include umbrellas and food and beverages from outside sources

Is that a "Desert Eagle point five O," sir? Come right in.

No ma'am, your tiny umbrella for your blue hair is not permitted.**

Yep. Could be a gunfight at the OK Corral when the fire Bielema crowd draws down on the keep Bielema crowd. Sure and glad we don't allow that at Scott Field at Davis-Wade Stadium!**

It also allows for a drunk person to have a gun inside an often hostile atmosphere.

Well, that will certainly slow down the "Go to Hell chants" from opposition fans. Someone needs to start a contest to choose the number of quarters before someone gets shot. DS could do this and offer free chat as the prize tie breaker would be caliber. I claim sixteen quarters and 9 mm.

Dude, are you seriously trying to argue that there won't be folks concealed carrying even if they're not sober?

Honestly security at Razorback Stadium is really lax already. They don't wand you down or see if you're sneaking anything in if it's not in a clutch purse. Easy to sneak alcohol in there inside your shirt. Most of them are old. My girlfriend accidentally left a video recorder in her purse even though you're not supposed to bring anything in to film SEC events and the guy that checked her purse thought it was a phone.

Why would you assume law abiding citizens would suddenly become criminals because they watch football?

Because not everyone that owns a firearm is a good person or a law abiding citizen, nor do they obey all rules. You and I both know that. We don't live in a perfect world.

Defend myself against what? Bad football?!? That's what the alcohol is for. A stadium with 65K plus folks wall to wall is the LAST damn place some yahoo with a concealed weapons permit needs to use said weapon. It would be a hard decision for a TRAINED law enforcement officer to use their weapon in such circumstances much less a lightly trained - if trained at all - civilian.

Some of y'all just love to over react. I can't tell you the last time I left my house without a firearm, sporting events included. As far as "highly trained law enforcement" vs "lightly trained civilians", that's a full-on crock of ****. You can go get ten cops from any jurisdiction in the world right now and three of them won't even be able to disassemble their weapon to clean it properly. Three of them won't pass weapons qual on their first attempt. Maybe two of them have ever trained to shoot on the move and from behind cover/concealment. Maybe one of them has ever for an incident such as an active shooter in an environment like a football stadium.

This is the real world and people don't just make a habit of shooting rival fans, players and coaches over a sporting event. If you want to spend the rest of your lives walking through metal detectors, carrying clear bags and giving up your ability to defend yourself in an effort to "feel safer" than by all means, go ahead. I'm not living that way.
