The Atlasia Concealed Firearm Act of 2004

[The Duke]

Would assault weapons be excluded as concealed weapons?

The AK-47 carries a 7.62mm round.  The M-16 carries a 5.56mm round.  Both of these are under the 9mm limit.

Furthermore, many police officers carry 10mm handguns instead of 9mm.  They'd be excluded from carrying their weapons while off-duty.

If assault weapons are not excluded, I as Secretary of Defense and Security must inform the Senate that this will make Homeland Security next to impossible.

Any terrorist can get a permit as long as he has no criminal record, put a Kalishnikov in a backpack, show up in a public place, has hose a crowd.

[The Duke]

Yes, but the fact that they would be able to legally carry one around is dangerous.  If a cop stops someone with an AK-47 in their possession, they can be arrested.  If they have a permit to carry the weapon, though, they can continue along and the cops can't stop them. Possession would be legal, and we'd have no recourse to arrest such a person until they have actually committed a terrorist act.

[The Duke]

The wording says HANDGUN NO LARGER THAN 9mm.
an AK-47 is a rifle.

Thank you Senator, my concerns are addressed.  I withdraw my complaints.
