1 - Your motor vehicle is an extension of your home. As such, your private property rights at home transfer to your motor vehicle and, therefore, are exactly equal to the property rights of the person upon whose land you park that motor vehicle, despite the fact that there is at least some kind of implicit grant of permission or licence to park there. The rights being equal, the prohibition is stalemated and must fail because the right to possess/carry the firearm at home either trumps a workplace situation or maybe it occurs first - the right starts inside the house before the worker gets to the parking lot so he simply carries it with him (no pun intended). Being first, it wins.I'm not convinced on this approach. Let's assume for the moment the destination is not a workplace, but another person's home. Is the right of this homeowner secondary? If Maggie doesn't like guns, and doesn't want John to bring his gun onto her property, she can keep him from doing so. Ignoring for the moment the lacking of individual standing that a corporation has, why would their property rights have a secondary status?Taking this one step further: Public parking lots are just that -- available to the public by an implied invitation ("Please come shop and the Mega Mall of Memphis!"). A corporate parking lot is by specific invitation, and indeed by employment contract. Property and contract rights would have a superior standing (this gets messy when we also consider that corporations invite a subset of the non-employee public onto corporate grounds for visiting -- vendors, potential employees, customer representatives, etc.).
