There would be an interesting situation if you were in a vehicle, though, because you don't need to have an LTC at all to carry under MPA. It would get even more convoluted if there was another adult in the car with you, since they could be carrying that same gun under MPA (thinking of after you put your gun in the center console or such).

To take an extreme case, let's say you leave the house unarmed and catch a ride somewhere with your buddy who doesn't have an LTC. Buddy has a gun in his glove box which is closer to you than it is to him. Would you need to have your LTC then? I think not, because even though the gun is "on or about your person" you would be carrying under MPA, albeit unknowingly. Same should apply to other situations where a gun is "on or about your person" IMHO. But then again, IANAL, and I did NOT sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
