CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Firearms manufacturer Weatherby Inc. is relocating its manufacturing operations and corporate headquarters from California to Wyoming, marking another catch by Wyoming of a company abandoning a state that isn’t as gun friendly.

Weatherby’s move to Sheridan is expected to create 70 to 90 jobs and more than $5 million in annual payroll over the next five years.

I highly doubt that.............

$11k a year....is unemployment money..

[eyeamok]

They and all the other manufacturers of guns should stop selling their product in the tarnished state completely

Jeremiah 51:45

“Come out of her, my people! Run for your lives! Run from the fierce anger of the LORD.

Buddy of mine...has a Weatherby...deer rifle.

I think a Mark V..7 Mag...

It's heavy..but it's a great rifle.

[Fightin Whitey]

Five million a year annual payroll.

At ninety employees that’s $55,500 per, as IYAS9YAS sez.

[Parley Baer]

I use to visit their store when they were in South Gate. I have owned some Weatherby rifles over the years.

[Osage Orange]

They could come to OK...also.

This state would welcome them.....

[CrazyIvan]

Good for them getting rid of one of those Saterday Night Special making gun mongers just like Illinois did with Les Baer!

[Osage Orange]

I believe that Cali...in the past has charged some sort of "leaving the state tax".....

I've family there still....

Don't know why they stay.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

My Dad had one of their 22 rifles. But he never got to use it! I had it all the time. A tack driver!

[Osage Orange]

So...you are an idiot.

How's that working out for you....?

[Osage Orange]

I'm thinking maybe that your post was satire....

Maybe it was....I could not tell.

[Scottie2000]

Another good reason for splitting the state up into 2-3 states. It is not fair for the millions who do not agree with the strip of land on the coast.

[Axenolith]

5 mil in annual...

[Axenolith]

Sarcasm not your strong point?

[jazminerose]

What took them so long?

[jazminerose]

There already is an exit tax. We fled in 2015 and like clockwork, my husband gets a demand every year for some tax that the Franchise Tax Board—oops—forgot to collect.

They’re less likely than the mafia to “forget” a debt.

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Yea, yea. Take a number. I’ve already acknowledged the error.

[Osage Orange]

Well....no I’m as sarcastic as you.

[CrazyIvan]

Being an idiot has worked out pretty well, actually.

It’s that sarcasm thing that seems to cause me trouble!
