Carrying an NFA Colt 6921, 6933, Who can I confirm with for PA?

[FloridaState]

Yeah...
My thought processes (limited as they are) equates carrying an SBR with the drive-by, gang banger mentality. Perhaps not the correct "PAFOA" mindset, but as we work to make firearms ownership and use more and more acceptable (and we're working against power political forces and an "anti-" mindset in education), I'm one to promote the responsible aspects of carry. An SBR, as cool as they are, are intimidating to a lot of folks. Carrying one concealed (which would require a long coat (such as a trench coat)) would most likely alienate rather then promote a pro-rights agenda.
Remember the "Trench coat Mafia"? Goggle that phrase...

I'm sure I'll get chastised in response to this post (good thing Danp disabled negative repping!!!). But I just don't see "awesome" as a good reason to carry an SBR. But I sure do see more negative connotations in the general public perceptions.

This post is long enough...

I want to carry one becuase who knows what I might be faced with these days. I may never get to it in a bad situation but if I have the time, I want the option. I will most likly keep it loaded in my car and never carry it. Would be nice if it fit in a back pack so I could take it and lock it in lockers if I had to. Would be a nice overall extra fire power for my cabin, or for when im in a less than ideal part of town. I believe a handgun if for fighting your way to a rifle and if you can legally have one in your car, why keep it further away?
I dont think I will be faced with a Reddawn sitatution but I might be faced with something like a Katrina or Watts situation. I learned enough to know anything can happen any where at any time. I think too many people believe that they will never be in a seriously bad situation. I just want to be ready for anything...

If you get in that type of situation, concealed carry would be the least of your problems.

Because I can't carry a loaded long gun in my car, even with my LTCF.

I'd rather have a loaded AR-15 with a 14" barrel in my car, than an unloaded AR-15 with a 16" barrel, or a loaded Glock 17. Sure it looks bad if you use it in self-defense, but there's no question that it's more effective than a pistol.

Or how about a Serbu Super Shorty in 20 ga.?

Even setting aside the legality issue for car carry, a 10" AR-15 with an M4 stock would be kinda neat in a large briefcase.

It has to be under the overall length requirement to carry in a car, at least to my reading of the statute. The cut off is 26in, a 6933 is 26.8in so you can't do it unless you change the stock. I put my 6933 upper on a pistol lower and sometimes carry that in the truck.

It has to have a barrel length under 16" or an OAL of under 26" to count as a "firearm" for the purposes of an LTCF.

"Firearm." Any pistol or revolver with a barrel length less than 15 inches, any shotgun with a barrel length less than 18 inches or any rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches, or any pistol, revolver, rifle or shotgun with an overall length of less than 26 inches. The barrel length of a firearm shall be determined by measuring from the muzzle of the barrel to the face of the closed action, bolt or cylinder, whichever is applicable.

Conceal Carry of a SBR is NOT religated to the use of an overcoat/trench coat only! As much as I don't care for 5.11 products they do have a nice bag out designed for carrying in this exact circumstance. It's called the Select Carry Sling Pack and looks like this.



Here is a video from 5.11 about how it operates.

notice the word OR. It says OR not AND. The barrel has to be less then 16 inches OR overal under 26. It could be 40 inches as long as the barrel is under 16...

I stand corrected.
