You absolutely can take the class regardless if you ever apply for your license. I have a couple of buddies that took the course and learned during the class that they wouldn't feel comfortable enough to carry.

As far as cleaning up and walking the straight and narrow, good luck with that I'm no one to judge, I was responding earlier to your original post. I think if this is something you seriously want to do (CHL) you should find a lawyer and see what options are open to you.

As far as chambered vs non chambered, you should only do what you are comfortable with. With having a laded firearm you are already ahead of 80% of the population, just don't run into the wrong crowd of he other 20%

I'm not to sure you need to be carrying a firearm. You seem to be making some poor decisions as short as 4 years ago, and those are just the ones you ar telling us about. As far as the business goes, you signed the lease agreement, what does it say?
