The way I understand the law, you are only "safe" carrying a pistol in your car. Once you step outside your car, you have to be a CHL, unless you are walking to/from your house, or the range.

Q: This might be tricky. Assuming that I have a CHL, what are my rights as far as other peoples houses. As part of my job, I am required to enter other peoples homes. I do know that as far as my relationship with the client, I am considered a "business invitee" as far as torts are considered. What is the CHL reality regarding this?

Hmm, someone more knowledgeable should speak to this, but I think you're not forbidden to enter private property armed unless you've been notified orally or with a 30.06 sign or card. In other words, by default, you may legally carry onto private property. (Not the opposite: by default you are forbidden). So basically, don't ask, don't tell. But since this will be a part of your job, I would read your employee handbook.
