AR pistol legal to CHL?

[Bithabus]

all, I have a creative student that wants to know if it's legal to carry an AR-15 pistol. I told him I'd check as I'd never had anyone ask this before and never considered it myself. I'm assuming that as it is considered to be a pistol that it may be carried as such. But the only wrinkle in my mind may come from the fact that it is chambered in a rifle cartridge (his is .223).

I know that PC46.01 (5) defines a "Handgun" as "any firearm that is designed, made, or adapted to be fired with one hand." This certainly falls under that category, but I'm curious if any of you oterh instructors have encountered this? OR anyone with the legal knowledge to site a source if it is illegal?

Thoughts?

If it is not considered a handgun would you tell your students it is illegal to carry?

The 5.7 is not at least .32 and not one that satisfies the state requirment. A person risks having their license revoked and the instructor charged with a crime and having his instructor certification revoked.

I know. I just know a woman who used one after asking permission from instructor. I warned her that that handgun did not meet the criteria. No names given here.

Yep. His comments were "I expect you to shoot the eye out of a fly with that handgun if it lands on your target little misses"

I am now beginning to think why carry an AR pistol concealed when with about the same effort you can carry a FAL pistol!!

Ok, where is that banner ad for Kangaroo Carry.............lets see if Austin Davis can rig me up a Air Marshall 3 to hold something like this.
