True enough. However, I don't think that was his question. He can still have the gun in his car, CHL in hand, CHL on-the-way, or no-CHL-at-all.WildBill wrote:If you haven't gotten the license yet then you can't carry under the CHL law.

1. At this point I always carry a gun in my car since the new law, center console concealed.
2.Now I have applied for my CHL.
What if after I have being approved and CHL license has been issued, but I still haven't received it, I get stopped while carrying the gun in my car. The drivers license check will show I have a CHL but I won't have it with me and I'll be carrying without my license. Once in a million but has this ever happened?
I know I'm being a bit @nal about it.
As Jim said, if he were to step out of the car with the gun on his person, he would immediately be illegal. (Is that what you were getting at?)
