Pretty much any semi-automatic rifle that looks "scary" is considered an assault rifle. Concealed carry is legal in a number of states (including CT). I have a worked-over Kel-Tec P11 9mm that I carry concealed daily.

Let's be clear that is what the vulgar left "alleges" to be assault rifles. The current AWB is based on mainly "cosmetic attributes" rather than functional attributes.
Assault rifles generally have three attributes, shot selector, midrange rounds, and large capacity magazines.
The vulgar left is not about to care about facts. I read a post today where a Walter PPK was referred to as a "powerful weapon"! Of course, the PPK fires a .380 round or what is sometimes referred to as a 9mm short.
The second amendment was about self-protection against tyranny, in particular the government (see Federalist Papers).
Assault weapons would be consistent with an armed militia for this purpose.
