It's all about breaking the ice Sugar Land Dave. Thanks for all the replies. I agree that it is ok for me to keep my gun in the glove box, have a nice dinner with my inlaws and have one or two drinks and drive home with no worries. I just wanted to make sure my logic was sound.

My father in law and I were talking about restrictions being a CHL holder vs. private citizen in having a gun in your car. He says that if you have anything to drink at all being a CHL holder, you are breaking the law, yet a regular citizen is not since the car is an extension of the home. Does anyone know if CHL holders are allowed to keep their gun in their car glove compartment, have a drink or two (under the legal limit for driving) and then get back into their car? I know the course taught that there is a zero limit for CHL holders, but is that only when the weapon is on you? If your car truly is an extension of your home, you are allowed to consume alcohol in your home and have your gun locked up in the house. Thanks.
