I don't view it as a property rights issue for the employer. The weapon is in my car which is my property.
Say you and I were friends and you were rabidly anti gun. When I would visit you at your house, you would have the right to tell me not to bring a firearm into your home. You would not have the right to tell me I couldn't leave it in my car.
Just my opinion.

Good point! And I would not have the power to have your car searched for contraband either

I agree with Dan's assessment.
I do visit some friends who prefer I leave the weapon in my vehicle.... and this seems to be a decent analogy.

Agree 100%. The building and the parking lot may be the employer's property but my vehicle and whatever is contained within it is MY property. Not only should this bill be passed but we need to pass a bill that makes your vehicle and extension of your home for all purposes (giving us the right to possess loaded concealed firearms within our vehicles without needing a permit).
Husker_Fan:
Property rights are exclusionary in nature. I cant use my land to build something that would be a nuisance but I can exclude others from coming onto my land, even if it's because I don't like guns.
Also, rights are not violated by other citizens, only by the government. Another citizen telling you to stay off their property with your gun is not the same as the government telling you that you cannot possess a particular weapon.
This law is the government restricting a private property right. It looks to me like a lot of people are OK with "reasonable restrictions" on other people's property rights so long as it benefits them.
As for the analogy to a friends house, if they find you have a gun in your car, ask you to leave, and you don't, then you are trespassing. If an employer finds you are not complying with an employment agreement, they should be free to fire you.
Just my two cents.
