Other than for the ATF's definition of a firearm what else does it apply to? If I'm carrying a lower receiver in my pocket, am I carrying a concealed weapon without a license? If I pull a lower receiver out and wave it around in a Wal-mart, am I arrested for brandishing a weapon? How about if I'm transporting a lower receiver and a upper receiver in my car, should I put the lower receiver in the trunk but having the upper receiver on the front seat is perfectly legal?
I realize there is a difference between what is technically legal and what any local cop may think. It may be illegal to have a lower receiver on the front seat of the car but any cop that pulls me over probably doesn't care and/or may not even know what it is. At the same time, the cop may be much more concerned if had the upper receiver on the front seat even if that was legal.
