I have searched, but not found anything. I know about the CC and OC laws in VA. I am a CHP holder. My only question is this:
Are AK and AR pistols considered handguns in the law of the Commonwealth? I would like a Draco AK with 30 round mag underneath a jacket, or an AR pistol the same way. Since the pistols are not made to accept a stock, they are not considered rifles. Can you conceal them legally?

Re: AK/AR pistol CC
AK & AR pistols are classified by ATF as handguns, so no problem with CC. However, magazine capacity is an issue under Virginia law except as noted in COV 18.2-287.4

Re: AK/AR pistol CC
thanks. I have my CHP so mag size is not an issue.
This opens up many ideas. Better done in winter though

Re: AK/AR pistol CC
Have you tried to actually use that firearm? They are difficult to shoot accurately and aren't light to carry. A real PDW like an FN P-90 or H&K MP7 would be a much better choice for professional use.
