I'm under the impression that an AR pistol like the Springfield Armory Saint with the brace is as legal to carry as any other conventional pistol. If so, has anyone here been pulled over with one? How did the police react?
Don't mess with the ants. They're well armed, they shoot straight, and there's more of them than you can imagine.

Is it registered as a pistol? If so, you are good to go.

I have several SBR's registered as pistols and can carry them if I want to. I don't, simply because leaving firearms in my locked vehicle gives me the creeps. In an emergency, riots, war, natural disaster, that caused the breakdown of society, I would probably take one with me.

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. I have AR's, but not one built as a pistol. I'll eventually pick one up from a shop. I'm curious about how law enforcement would react to it though.

If it’s under 26” it’s a Michigan “pistol” registered or not. Though having it registered may be helpful if you get pulled over by a cop that doesn’t understand the law

lol, true that. I made a pistol just before the law changed for it to be grandfathered in. It actually measures 22" collapsed and 27" extended.
