I'm a CHL holder and have a question about this part of the law when I have my handgun in a car and my children come with me.
I keep the handgun hidden at all times, mainly under the seat, but since my kids are in my car a lot, does the below apply since they are under 17? I'm wondering if the word "storing" is for places "other" than a car? Since in my car, it would always be in close proximity to anyone in my car AND unlocked AND loaded.

"While storing a loaded firearm, it must be in a place which cannot be accessed by a child under the age of 17, or secured with a trigger lock if there is reason to know that a child under 17 may gain access to the firearm."


Thanks, Mike
