Re: Car carry for non chl holder with 20 year old?

Not a problem with verifying anything I tell you. Checking on what you are told on the internet is always a good thing.

You have it correct, as I am sure Gigag04 will verify shortly. The trick to reading laws is to not read into them. The only things forbidden (in our legal system) are those that are explicitly specified in the law as forbidden.

So, when the law says a person but does not mention age, then the age of the person is irrelevant (whether 18, 20,21, or 65). In this case, the law says it is a crime to have a gun on or about your person if you are not in a car you own or under your control. The driver has the car under their control (generally, I am not sure of the way my daughter drives :lol:). The weird part of this law is that the driver and the owner do not have to be the same person, so your sister driving your brother's car means both could have guns legally.

Re: Car carry for non chl holder with 20 year old?

It is not legal for your sister to carry a weapon without a CHL if it is not her car or a car in her control.

But, it is legal for the brother to carry in his car. She can loan him the revolver for the trip.

And if it is the glove box, but no CHL, there is no obligation to tell anyone about it. Obviously, i would not tell him to lie if a police officer asks if he has any guns, but he doesn't have to offer either.

Seriously, the odds of being stopped are small, depending on his driving of course. The odds of the officer asking about guns are even smaller. Some officers will ask on every stop, but most only ask if something else has their suspicions up and they are looking to search the car. I would not worry too much about it if I were them.
