No one has said that you lose your property, or that the employer owns it. All that has been said is that your car is on his property and that indivdual, or company, has every right to decide and set forth the conditions for your car to be on his property. Heck, he could order them all off, for NO reason if he wanted, because it is his property they are parked on.

Your parking there is not an invite, it is a part of your condition for work, or due to whatever agreement you have between you. If one stipulation of that agreement is no guns...which I personally do not agree with...then that is his right. It is not a matter of whether I agree with it, or think it is stupid or not...it is a matter of respecting that person's freedom to do with his property as he sees fit...on his property. You have a choice, park there on his property according to his rules...or park somewhere else.

Your property is still yours...to do with as you please as long as you do not infringe with it on someone else's property. Your property may start where the rubber meets the tarmac...but when the tarmac it is parked on BELONGS to someone else, you are there by their sufferance and according to their rules. If you do not like the rules...roll the rubber tires somewhere where the rules are to your liking...or onto your own property where you set the rules.

This is circular now. We are covering the same ground and I am getting sleepier by the moment. I hope you understand that my point it that we have to respect others property rights just as much as we respect our own, or our RKBA. A business owner, a home owner, a parking lot owner, a rancher...all of them can stipulate the rules for your stay on their property. We ignore or walk on that at the same peril we would if we allow the government to deprive us of our RKBA in public or on our own premises.

You've got some odd notions of what property Rights entail. Either that car, and its private contents, are mine. Or they are not. They can't be both. It's illogical.

I can't pull my guns FROM my property while still on his land without risking my job. Most certainly. But while my property is on my mobile property, its mine. Period. End of story. In order to set conditions upon the contents would be to extert a level of control over my property that would be tantamount to negating my property Rights.

How does my storage of a fireamr, completely enclosed by MY property, infringe his property Rights in any way, shape, or form?

I'm not "carrying" on his property. It is stored within MY property.

Go to sleep. I'm about out of gas as it is.

Best regards....
