you are 24 years old, you are your own man accountable for your actions. It does not matter where you live or even if the car isn't in your name(I carry no matter whose car I was in, wether they knew or not that I was carrying) You pull the trigger, you are responsible. Especially because
you are of legal age your parents would be in no way responsible for a shooting should it occur and I don't know a criminal prosecutor that could pin a charge on them. When i got out of the military I picked up a CHP permit and lived at home awhile only thing different for my folks was the fact that their address was associated with my CHP. Only part I could see where the step-dad/parents could get involved would be if the firearms belonged to them and not the CHP holder.
Not an issue, unfortunately sounds more like a 'don't like guns issue', because in all reality why do your parent need to know of your CHP? Last time I filed for a CHP there wasnt a block that required homeowners permission. May be wrong but only time I have ever seen something about homeowners permission was for a FFL/SOT application.
