This was all a hypothetical question anyways (since the person asking didn't yet have a CHL at all) but:

- Person has a CHL and it is suspended for 30 days (lets say failure to report change of address)
- During suspension period, the person carries a firearm in their car (Motorist Protection Act)

Now if the person never had a CHL at all, there is clearly no issue with carrying in their car. But is a CHL holder (with a suspended CHL) held to a different standard during their suspension period?

My initial thought was that a CHL holder or not would make no difference. However, other threads on this same forum indicates a CHL holder with a NSA license couldn't keep a semi-auto in their car under the MPA. The CHL was held to a higher standard. I suspect there isn't a definitive answer to the question since the hypothetical question may never have been tested to date.

I had a question come up in a recent CHL class and I wasn't sure of the answer.

We all know that one doesn't have to be a CHL holder to carry a firearm in one's car. But, we've seen on this forum that a CHL holder licensed for NSA should not keep a semi-auto in the car because the CHL holder is held to a higher standard.

The question that came to me is - what if a CHL holder has a license suspended but has a firearm in their car? It would be perfectly fine for a non-CHL holder. But, is the CHL holder with a suspended license held to a higher standard during their suspension?

I thought it was an interesting question and one for which I couldn't find any information. Your thoughts?
