David Gooch, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court dismissed Gooch's challenge to whether the facts satisfied the firearm-possession statute because a conditional no-contest plea did not preserve a sufficiency-of-the-evidence or factual-basis challenge for appeal. It affirmed the remaining constitutional challenges because Gooch either failed to raise them below or presented only conclusory assertions and did not obtain a ruling on one related issue. The court therefore did not reach the merits of the statutory, vagueness, due-process, or right-to-bear-arms arguments.
