I think preventing people from disallowing firearms from being included as part of the contents of an automobile that accesses their own property amounts to a power grab by government.

These laws have been passed at the request of citizens, citizens whose rights are being infringed, and who have petitioned their legislators for redress. Oklahoma, Utah, & Alaska have such laws, and other States are considering them, - egged on by groups like the NRA.

Their rights are not being infringed, until such practices become monolithic.

Amusing contention, that rights are not being violated unless they are 'uniformly' infringed upon. Who thought up that one?

Demonstrate to me that they are monolithic and I will agree with your position, as I stated.

I'm really starting to doubt that. The more you keep coming up with off the wall reasons, the more I doubt.

But for the time being, people are not being forced to take those jobs, nor are they forced to park in those lots.

We went over those facts previously. -- Most local governments force companies to provide off street parking for employee use.
As for jobs, companies cannot require you to abandon your RKBA's in order to hold a job.

faireturn, in answer to the question of whether the right to control a parking lot is universal or individual, even if every business in the land decreed that vehicles containing firearms were prohibited from their parking lots, they would be within their rights. However, IMO, if they did that it would create an intolerable situation, one that should result in the loss of the right.

Like I've tried to make clear, I hate to see us giving up our rights, whether it be control of personal property or the RKBA, but if we abuse them, we will lose them.

As an aside, businesses cannot make you give up the RKBA, only the state can threaten us with the power of law.
