It isn't arkansas
It's alaska.
Which isn't much different, actually...
We are a 2nd amendment-flaunting, gun-toting, anti-government northern state 
The 'objective?' of the 'operation?' is to not get seen. I only know of one instance where people were seen, and in that instance: a man and his son had mistaken the 'commandos' for bears, and walked out armed to deal with bears. It was very dark at the time... so if the 'commandos' hadn't been so fast to shout out that the man's niece was among them (she was): people very well could have gotten shot. Bears are shot all the time nowadays 'in defense of life and property'.
That's the only one I've heard of... but then this was only the second day they've ever done it. I think it will take someone really getting hurt for them to understand how dangerous this activity is...

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
