Why do you think you have a right to search my locked car for a gun?

Probably because upon the beginning of your employment term he'd require you to sign a consent to search your car.
General Principles Regarding Illegal Contracts
As one authority has noted, "the law has a long history of recognizing the general rule that certain contracts, though properly entered into in all other respects, will not be enforced, or at least will not be enforced fully, if found to be contrary to public policy."
"No principle of law is better settled than that a party to an illegal contract cannot come into a court of law and ask to have his illegal objects carried out . .
The courts generally will not enforce an illegal bargain or lend their assistance to a party who seeks compensation for an illegal act.
Such agreements are "traditionally referred to as 'illegal contracts,'" even though they "are functionally described as contracts unenforceable on grounds of public policy." Statutes require that a contract have "a lawful object", otherwise the contract is void.
A contract that has as its object a violation of law is "against the policy of the law."
"the law has a long history of recognizing the general rule that certain contracts, though properly entered into in all other respects, will not be enforced, or at least will not be enforced fully, if found to be contrary to public policy."Now you have to come up with a law that made it illegal for employers to disallow guns on their property.
The Second does not apply in that case, as it restricts the Federal Government from placing restrictions on your right to keep and bear arms, and does not apply to private citizens on private property.
A contract that has as its object a violation of law is "against the policy of the law." There's no violation of law here - simply one property owner consenting to a search of his property by another.
