“law to guarantee employees the right to store firearms in vehicles parked at work.”
Seems like a misguided law to me. Private property owners ought to be able to tell others what they can and cannot do on the owner’s property, including bringing or carrying a firearm. It would then be the potential employee’s decision whether to work there or not. The government shouldn’t be promoting one freedom at the cost of restrictions another.
Sorry, but a warrant is required to search my vehicle, no matter where it’s parked.

I think you picked a bad forum (and timing) to take on gun rights.
In this case, by letting VW stop people from having a gun in their parked car, they’re also preventing them from having that same gun in their car when they drive home - and as someone who was followed home once (after buying a laptop at Best Buy), I would prefer we not give corporate America the ability to take that right away from us.
Such a firearm isn't ON the business owner's property. Said property ends where the vehicle wheels touch the ground. From the ground up, the property is the vehicle owners, and whatever might be contained therein is N.O.T.B.. "If" the firearm were to be carried out of the interior of the vehicle, THEN the business owner has a legitimate interest, but not otherwise.
And when you enter my car, you are entering MY property.
This is not that hard.
