and VW fought against that allows people to bring their guns onto the property of their work place. Not inside, just the parking lot, but still...Where are the property rights of the business? 22 states have passed the law, I'm not sure if Minnesota is one of them.

Also, the VW plant was brought to Tennessee under a Democratic Governor, Phil Bredesen. Senator Bob Corker was the mayor of Chattanooga at the time, but it was Bredesen's work that made it happen. Bredesen is also one of the investors in the solar farm at or near the plant.
