Thread: Can one legally Conceal Carry a AR15 Pistol with a CHL?

I was discussing this with a co-worker today about this... and I was curious... Can I if i wished conceal a AR 15 pistol with a CHL? in lets say a backpack or a duffel bag? His Nephew does it and he says its legal, but thought id get other opinions as well...

I don't see why not.There doesn't seem to be any law aganst it.(in Oregon)

ya its no different than any other pistol

Theres no law against carrying a silencer in your pocket either, but I dont care to take a chance given most LE dont know some laws.

It's classified as a pistol, a concealed pistol license would cover it. May be a bit bulky, but hey, why not.

Heck yea put a beta mag on it to !

considering there's not actually any law prohibiting carrying a rifle in your pocket, i suppose an AR pistol would be doubly OK.

keep in mind, however, that you will be in trouble if you're stopped. legal or not, cops dont care.

but i don't know why the **** you'd want to anyway...?

i tried it once, kept sliding out of my flight jacket

Think of it as flair! These days, everyone's CC'ing.... why not stand out from the crowd, and open carry an AR pistol!! Sounds good to me!

i do not own a AR15 pistol, I just thought the concept was pretty interesting, but im not going to go out and get one just so i can carry it. lol

I'm slowly building up an AR-pistol from "scratch"... he he he

There's a reason they are called AR"pistols", because they are in fact "pistols" which would mean they are legal to carry concealed with a CHL. BTW, I got a "pistol" marked lower to avoid any confusion any LEO may have. I was told, at my range, the previous pistol I built (now a stamped SBR) was not acceptable in the pistol pits, even though it was a 7" barreled 9mm because it was NOT a pistol. Now I can show them the "PISTOL" marking on the lower.
