Isn't your car private property? Even in bars and such where concealed carry is not permisable, you can have your gun locked in your car in the parking lot.

The article says that NRA membership is down but it is really going up.

Yes, your car is private property, so is the ground it's parked on. You must consent to whatever the owner of the parking lot wants to be able to park there.

If you don't consent, then don't park there, or expect to pay the consequences if you do.

"my beloved S&W .357 on my hip all day, wouldn't be - even though it might make everyone real sweet in business meetings from now on.

Interestingly enough, I believe that NC is one of the few states were keeping or carrying a firearm into a church is not illegal. I haven't checked the local laws on that score however."

My understanding from talking with a lawyer is that legally your vehicle is a possession like a bag or jacket that you take with you. It is not an extension of your home (domain) so that it cannot be said, even if you are homeless, that a "man's car is his castle." When you drive your car onto someone's private property it is much the same as if you walked on carrying a backpack. If your bag is subject to search on that property so would your car. In essence the Bar is saying you can't bring your gun inside our building (in NC and most other states it is illegal to bring a gun into an establishment serving alcohol), but we will let you keep it locked in a big rolling metal box on our property, this is an accomodation, but they are free to deny that right as well.

In essence your car is not a rolling home, you do not change a portion of his land into yours by driving it onto someone elses land.
