So you'd be in favor of a law that allowed someone to park their car in your front yard? I suppose it would be ok for the overflow traffic from the nightclub across the street to park in your front yard? After all, they are just parking, not protesting.
Ever see a NO SEMIS sign at the entrance to a so called public parking lot? Do you consider that an unconstitutional infringement of the right to park?
Cars are not an extension of anyone's home. A car is a car. Some states with their so called Castle Doctrine laws have made defending yourself in your car the same as defending yourself in your home, but that is the only thing it extended to cars. Cars are still treated differently them homes for search and seizure.
We are opening an Pandora's Box that we'll never shut if we start taking private property rights away from people because we wish to carry a gun on private property without the owner's consent.
What will you do when the Sierra Club gets a law passed allowing people unlimited access to your property to birdwatch, check for endangered species or enjoy the sunset from your deck?

The difference is that they'd be protesting on your property. A car owned by someone else parked in your yard is not your property.

Then you shouldn't have put a public parking lot on your property.
That is a form of granting permission.

Supposedly, a person's car is considered (by me and others) their private property (a mobile oasis, if you will), so, while you may not be able to carry on someone's property (being anywhere outside the doors of your car), you should be able to carry in your car and have a weapon in your vehicle.
Cars are an extension of the home, especially for those people who live in their automobiles.
