Let's say the X gives you verbal permission to carry, and that X really does have the authority to do so.

Worst-case Hypothetical situation: something ugly happens while you're there. you draw and repel boarders but before you were successful, X got killed by the goblin(s). Do you really want your position, once you get to court, to be "the dead guy said it was OK"?

As for the other problem; a car is a car is a car. If the next Acura dealer is an inconvenient distance away, then don't buy one. Buy an Audi or BMW or Lexus or a whatever from somebody closer who isn't posted 30.06
If/when I have to pull my pistol out the last thing that will be on my mind is some technicality like that. My pistol isn't coming out unless I feel my life is in danger and if that is the case I could care less about what laws were involved up until that point. What good will it do to follow a law and be dead because of it? This shouldn't be misconstrued as I plan on intentionally breaking the law. Just that if my life is in danger, I'm going to rectify that situation regardless. I'd rather be in front of a jury explaining why I might have illegally carried than dead.
