AGO 1957 NO. 62 >

(1) The uniform firearms act is still in force, though its penalty provision has been declared unconstitutional. (2) The provisions of the uniform firearms act authorizing the carrying of a concealed pistol with a license, should be construed together with those of an independent statute prescribing penalties for "furtively carrying with an intent to conceal" such a weapon, in order to preserve the integrity of both statutes.
