I don't think it is inconsistent with libertarian principles to insist that people be able to carry firearms in their private vehicles in any parking lot, regardless of the wishes of the corporation. Limited liability corporations are increasingly destructive of liberty, in league with the government as they generally are.
RileyMc-THAT is the most encouraging statement I've heard yet regarding libertarianism. The acknowledgment that corporations and government are interwined hand in glove (to the detriment of individuals) is one that more libertarian types should recognize.
I'm super hard core Libertarian (except the Libertarian party is wrong on abortion and immigration) and I've worked to educate people on the evils of the corporate entity for years. 1st, it's a CREATION of government. I call the corporate entity a bastard stepchild of government. It exists because of a GOVERNMENT charter, thus it's not surprising when it's hard to tell where corporations end and government begins. In the same way, one shouldn't be surprised when they see mom and daughter at the mall dressed nearly identically and carrying similar purses and cell phones.
2nd: "If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property, until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power of money should be taken from banks and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money, are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies." ~ Thomas Jefferson
Rush Limbaugh has implied for years that corporations are the same as, and CONSTITUTE the free market. Hogwash. The corporate entity DESTROYS the free market in so many ways, only an idiot, or someone bought off BY corporations, or both, would say otherwise! It's true that Democrats attack corporations, but they do it for the wrong reasons.
