I just realized something. In the State of Michigan, the laws are such that one can, if one is not otherwise disqualified from firearms ownership, legally keep a firearm in any condition - assembled, disassembled, loaded, unloaded, cased, lying on the table, whatever, in one's home or place of residence.
The same is not true of a vehicle. There are very specific requirements to keep a firearm in one's vehicle in Michigan. (It must be unloaded, encased, and locked in the trunk or otherwise inaccessible or remote from the driver and occupants, unless it is a handgun AND there is a valid Concealed Pistols License holder in the vehicle or is the owner of the vehicle and it is unoccupied.)
Clearly, the inside of a vehicle is not "private property" in the same way that the inside of a home is.

The homeowner is not allowed to fix his own toilet, or hot water heater in some jurisdictions. "His" home must conform to their specs. Same goes for the employer's premises.

The Law of the Land says that the peoples RKBA's "shall not be infringed".
Thus, a contract that infringes on that right is forbidden.

Clearly, the State of Michigan is infringing on peoples RKBA's within vehicles, which are their 'private property' under any sense of the words.
