I am now running for cover.

I think I will use that next year when I buy my wife that new Wilson Combat 1911 for our anniversary. 'But honey, it is for BOTH of us!!'

...that wouldn't work for me...mine'd sell her half first chance and go shoppin'!!!

...if I, having a CHL, either leave my gun in the car when I loan it to my son, a friend, or I get out and leave a passenger in the car(who is not a minor...)they now are obviously "in control"...and MPA covers them...they don't have to own the car or the gun...who OWNS the gun is not an issue...the only issue is are they following the guidelines of MPA (which they would NOT be if they were a felon or gang member, but I don't run with those folks)...I don't think it's any more complicated than that...a lot of folks are too hung up on whose car or whose gun it is...the key is whether the person who's with it may legally have control/possession of a gun...if he can, no problem(I know, gun-free school zones excepted)...
