ARKANSAS

Arkansas Third "Saturday Night Special" economic handgun ban passed.

1882

 

Arkansas followed Tennessee's lead by enacting

a virtually identical "Saturday Night Special" law

banning the sale of any pistols other than expensive

"army or navy" model revolvers, which most whites had

or could afford, thereby disarming blacks. Statute

was upheld in Dabbs v. State, 39 Ark. 353 (1882) (GMU

CR LJ, p. 74)
