This is done all the time and I think most LEO's would not bat an eye. However, I vaguely recall case law that held no one but the business owner came under this "not applicable" provision. I don't recall the case name but I'll try to find it next week.

I'm not up on the law about security guards. Do they have to be commissioned to be exempt? Most gun shop owners certainly consider their employees to be safeguarding property, and they carry openly for that purpose.

What about employees at the gun store, Charles?

By a strict reading of the law, my neighbor broke the law when he brought over his guns for safekeeping (while his son was home between jail sentences). He wasn't going to an activity commonly requiring their use, but he openly carried them across the driveway and into my house.

There are things like this that need to be fixed. Fine-tuning the CHL law is fine, but we need to fix the broken basis of the law first.
