We have not, we’re thinking about making the state mascot the “jackpine savage”.

No, he doesn't know the difference. And anyone who doesn't know the difference shouldn't be posting on this forum. Bullets are to cartridges as flour is to bread as cement is to concrete, etceteras. They may not have the capability of learning the language.

All they have to do is move to the other side of the river and their employees can commute.

The tax vulture LIBs already have in Maryland ( THE Freak state). When we left that LIB hellhole last year we had to pay 3.5 % "exit" tax on the sale of our house. It was well worth it. May everyone who is not a moonbat asshat leave that crummy jurisdiction.

Open letter from the Texas Attorney General:

Here in Texas, you will have the liberty and the opportunity to achieve your dreams. On top of that, we have no income tax, yet still manage to have a multi-billion dollar budget surplus.

We have right to work laws and a reasonable regulatory environment. Texas has created more than 275,000 jobs in the last year alone! And we’ll fight like hell to protect your rights.

You’ll also get to keep more of what you earn and use some of that extra money to buy more ammo.

I hope to see you soon in Texas. In the meantime, sign up to show your support for our second amendment rights.

Sincerely,Attorney General of Texas

We would welcome the fine folks at Beretta with open arms (pun intended) plus Georgia’s a right to work state . . . a win win for sure.

Would this “exit tax” be exempt if you were staying in the state?

Get out of Marxist Maryland, run by Marxists O’Malley and Miller, two betrayers of a once great state.

Come to Virginia where we are still free, though most black, Hispanic and white liberals voted into office Tim Kaine (as governor and now senator), Jim Webb, Mark Warner, Jim Moran, his brother Brian, red-green state senator Addam Ebin, now Rep. Gerald Connelly (who missed his real place in history by a couple decades, Nazi Germany), and a couple loud-mouthed jerks down in the Tidewater region.

Illegal Hispanic immigrants have more power in ultra-liberal Montgomery County through their tax-payer funded Casa de Maryland than does the average working man or woman of any group. Casa gave us the far-left Dept. of Justice thug Perez, head of the Civil Rights Division, a man who never met a white middle-class person he didn’t hate.

Get out of Maryland and let it sink deeper into the economic and political cesspool it is now in. Maybe in the future, when the people realize that they have hit bottom, some will wake up and throw off the marxists and their political cronies.

I was born and raised in Baltimore. Used to know honest politicians back in the old days. Now I wouldn’t know where to find one. We used to call Maryland “The Free State”. Not anymore.

Just try to protect yourself against the rising tide of criminals and you’ll learn why you are no longer “free”. Try to live a safe life in Prince Georges County. It ain’t gonna happen. Their unofficial slogan to potential newcomers is, “Come to PG County and die!”

Here in Virginia, we don’t put up with that shit despite the liberals wanting to import it.

As Shania Twain would sing, “Come on over, come on in”.

Especially up in the Panhandle. Eglin AFB is where the Beretta was first chosen and beat out all the other brands.

The Army insisted that they should do the testing and eventually came up with the same results.

Kind of an odd thought. Wonder if history will write that the gun manufacturers moving to red states will be part of how sides were drawn in CWII.

Being a life long flyover red state resident, I’d damn sure rather have them move here and keep making product.

The Panhandle might be perfect!
Close to Alabama and Mississippi.

My understanding is that if you stay in the state (stay for some reason I can't fathom) you get it back if you buy another equal or more value house in maryland, ( THE Freak state.

Then why did Virginia vote for gun grabbing Obama last November?

The Fed probably hires and fires that many in a day.

Hires yes, but does not fire.

...anyone who doesn't know the difference [bullets vs cartridges] shouldn't be posting on this forum.

If FR were solely a firearms forum, I'd agree with you, but it's not. There are over three hundred thousand people with Freeper accounts, and not all of them have basic firearms education.

Why not give them a hand up, and help them to raise their knowledge level on firearms? We're all in this together.
