Question about possessing an AR pistol & Rifle
Can you have both a Ar pistol and an AR rifle or would that be considered constructive possession since it would be so easy to convert the rifle lower to an SBR?

I wouldn't see why not. As long as they are kept in the correct configuration according to the serial number of the Lowers.
Keep the pistol upper on the Pistol lower.

Correct. As long as the parts are kept together it's legal.

But have a FA trigger group & your in trouble... makes a lot of sense doesn't it?
The entire system needs a overhaul.

As long as you have the same number of uppers and lowers, and they ae attached to the proper parts, you are OK.

You can also have spare uppers around, so long as they are 16" or greater barrels. Having a sub-16" upper sitting around with no pistol or SBR lower to put it on is a problem waiting to happen, though.

 This - keep the uppers and lowers together.

Constructive possession requires more than having the parts and the ability to assemble them in an unlawful manner - it requires the intent to assemble them in an unlawful manner. Such intent can be inferred by having such parts and no lawful purpose for them. As long as one has a lawful purpose for the parts, inferring criminal intent is problematic without some other element.

Okay, so I have 2 pistol lowers. One complete and one stripped. How many pistol uppers can I have assuming I also have a whole bunch of complete rifles and rifle lowers?
I thought as long as I have 1 pistol lower, I can have as many pistol uppers as I want because they all can go on my legal pistol lower?

Maybe this link can clear up any questions. It's from the BATF.

If you only have 1 complete and functional pistol lower, then I would suggest have no more than one under 16" barreled upper in your possession. A second upper wouldn't have a legal "home" receiver at all times, and could be construed as constructive intent.
When in doubt, cover your butt.
