But, the non-chl would not be committing a crime because the law allows guns in cars. For non-51% locations, the law on licensed premises is still part of 46.02 and we know that allows car carry now. The non-chl is not affected by 46.035 since he cannot carry outside of the car anyway.
What if the licensed premises share's or has a common parking lot with some other (non licensed) business(es), does that whole parking lot become off limits then?
There is no off limits to any parking lot for a 51% business when your gun stays in the car. Really you only need to worry if drinks are served where you are, like when they block or flag an area for an outdoor party, If not then no one will care.
