What they're mandating is that the property owner does not have the right to control other people's private property or their right to self defense on the way to or from their property. If they are allowed to control what you have in your car while it's parked on their lot, then a Dem property owner could sanction or fire you for having Ron Paul, John McCain, or any other politician's material in your car also, thereby controlling your right of free speech and right of political speech. An atheist property owner could likewise disallow you from having a bible or a cross in your car.
As I see it, their private property is no more nor less important than yours; it's just that yours is mobile and theirs is in a fixed location.
