No, under Arkansas Law it can only be carried by a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, member of the armed forces or a licensed security officer while acting within the course and scope of their duties. In Arkansas we have a Concealed Handgun Carry License ( CHCL ) rather than a concealed carry permit, it is only valid for a firearm, nothing else, though currently it appears that if one has said permit one can not be charged with carrying a weapon while in their vehicle provided it is not a prohibited weapon.

Assuming one is not a felon one may however currently carry OC spray ( As long as it's under 150 cc, with or without CS ), A taser or stun gun ( The two are not the same by the way and one must be 18 or older to posses ) or a pocket stick ( kubaton, monadnock persuader ), though the latter may cause problems, particularly without keys attached, consult an attorney. As with any weapon they will all get one charged with aggravated assault at a minimum if one uses it on someone and it is later determined that it was not self-defense.

For more information on Arkansas Law visit the Arkansas Legislature's Website and click on the "Search/View Arkansas Code" link on the lower left side of the page, you will be directed to a Lexis Nexis page.

Why do Police tool themselves up and the public cant?

Police officers are typically equipped with firearms and other tactical gear to ensure their safety and the safety of the public. This equipment is necessary for their line of work, which includes enforcing the law, dealing with potentially dangerous situations, and protecting themselves and others. The general public does not have the same need for such equipment, as their role is primarily to abide by the law and rely on law enforcement for protection.

Is Asp weapon legal?

If you're referring to an expandable baton, they are legal, generally speaking, but some states in the U.S. require you to take a training class in order to carry one. I'd guess that some states don't allow you to carry a baton, so the answer is, it depends on where you are. For reference, Asp is a brand name.
