So now we know the problem this proposed law is creating, what problem is it solving?

It is hard to imagine the placement of that plant being based on anyting other than what is most economically advantagous for VW. Although if more than one location suits the economics, then maybe the gun law will impact.

I remember when Corker tried to 'insist' that the new VW plant in Chattanooga NOT allow its new workers the right to decide or not to join a union. This world-wide successful car company was not about to take advice about its employees from a doofus like "right to work" Corker. The VW executives basically told him that they knew how to hire AND KEEP good quality, well trained workers and that THEY would allow its workers to decide.
I am sure that 'Guns everywhere' Ramsey, who is owned by Smith&Wesson, made such a poor impression on them, trying to force a foreign company to listen to his bull, as just a fly speck on the windshield of their new vehicle.
I think VW has already expanded once, maybe twice in The Chattanooge area. And it did so because of the quality of its product, not from the 'advice' of GOP losers.

If the employer does not want firearms in the worker's automobiles while parked on company property, that is an employer employee related issue that does not need the intervention of the state legislature. I seriously doubt VW security has the time or the legal right to search employees vehicles while parked at work and the continued baffoonery regarding guns in cars while at work is ridiculous. Most employers have the necessary signage for no guns in the work place, not use of tobacco products, and reasonable limitations on distractions, i.e. cell phone use, company internet use for personal browsing, access to personal e-mail.

Most employers don't give two hoots about what is in an employees car as long as it does not affect the orderly movement of traffic in and through the company's parking lot.

Maybe there are so many people out of work in Tennessee now, we've completely forgotten the employer - employee relationship and how that works.

This bunch has the arrogance to demand that no new federal firearms laws will be enforced in Tennessee. I wonder when they will attempt to take their guns across the blue line to the parking lots on Bear Creek Road.

I'd like to be there with my camera for that George Wallace moment in reverse.
