I imagine if at the time the 2nd Amendment was written, someone had mentioned a parking lot, the writers would have asked "What in the hell is a parking lot?"

Exactly. -- Can you imagine a 'businessman' in the 1800's telling his employees they couldn't have weapons out in their buggies or at the company stable?

Sure, but they'd have known what a livery stable or hitching post was. Then the question would be could an employer prohibit someone from having a horse pistol on their saddle if the horse was tied up, or corralled, on the property of the business.
