[QUOTE="hrdware, post: 1808394, member: 24475"] Here is the applicable definition: There is no statutory definition of distance. I would assume (and we all know about assumptions) that "about" would mean within reach of. Now with your scenario's, I wouldn't see any issue with them either: Leaving purse by a couch to use the bathroom seems to imply at someones home so that shouldn't be an issue. Pumping gas, just lock the car doors if you go into the station. At that point you are not in possession of a concealed firearm, it is securely locked in your vehicle in the parking lot. Now, if your wife was at a restaurant, I would not suggest leaving a purse with a firearm in it at the table while she went to the restroom, unless of course you were also there in which case the firearm could be said to be about your person. Just my opinion on the interpretation. [/QUOTE]
