Don't you have to own the car for that to apply (or own the bussiness)??? I always thought so, but it would be nice to know for sure. Such as a non CHL holder carrying in a friend's car (or riding passenger). But if that is the case, you own the team and are the driver then you would be carring at your place of business right :p...

But again on a serious note I would like to know if an non-CHL carry in another person's vehicle as both a passenger and as an operator is legal.

Thanks
Unlicensed carry is legal in any car that you own or is under your control. I interpret that to mean any car you own or are driving such as a rental car, a truck borrowed from a friend, a stock car, etc. Non-CHL carry in another person's vehicle is legal if you're the operator, but not if you're a passenger. You might could get away with carry as a passenger it if you put the gun under the seat, in the glove box, etc. and claimed it was his gun that just happened to be in your reach. I'm not saying that's a good idea, just that it would be hard for the officer to establish that it was in your possession (illegal) and not the driver's (legal).

TrueFlog thanks for the clarification. Glad i have my CHL as to not have to test any waters.
