Anybody do this or know of anybody who has? More thinking out loud here than considering actually doing it.
I was thinking of pistols such as the Kel-Tec PLR-16, chambered in 5.56 NATO, accepts standard 30-round mags, and does not have a buffer tube protruding out the back of it. I've got my concealed carry permit, so I technically could conceal carry it, but it's large enough to be very prohibitive of that, not to mention that it just doesn't make a lot of sense. That is a terrible cartridge for carrying due to massive overpenetration and risk to innocent people if you ever did decide to use it. But, it is technically a pistol, so I could OC the damn thing just like my Glock 19 if I felt so inclined. I'm sure it would garner some unwanted attention, though.
Anyways, just wondering about the legalities of a pistol chambered for rifle cartridges and if anybody has seen or heard of carrying one on a regular basis.
