Im sure there will be plenty of people here correct me if im wrong but since the area between your car and your apartment front door is not considered to be your private property I dare say that you have been illegally CC'ing. This very thing came up in our discussion on what did and did not constitute "private property" and "under your control" in my class. Since you do not/can not own the "commons" area it is considered "public".

Now, the argument could be made "well, im carrying it to/from my car" but (IANAL) Youd probably have a hard time convincing LE or a prosecutor when your carrying in in a manner consistant with CC (in other words, in a concealed holster). Its up to you, but id seriously consider using a hard case, pistol rug, or any other number of off-body options to transport that firearm to and from your vehicle.

Id just hate to see you possibly lose your right to CC or even own a firearm on a technicality.
