Beasley, P.J.

¶1(dissenting). I respectfully dissent. I do not find the interpretation placed on a somewhat similar statute in 1948 by the Federal district court for the District of Columbia either persuasive or binding.1

¶2The statute excepts three categories:

" … in his dwelling house or place of business or on other land possessed by him.”2

¶3 *519Granted that the language is somewhat ambiguous and that drawing the parameters of the exceptions is difficult, I would find that for purposes of the concealed weapons statute a validly licensed taxicab is a place of business.3

¶4Therefore, I would affirm.
