Breaks my heart. Drove by the *unique* Colt dome in my daily commute for 33 years. The restoration of Coltsville, is something Hartford should be proud of. Sam changed American history.

It's like when the shell of the iconic Winchester company was bought and moved out of Connecticut.

But like Gov. Malloy said: "we don't need companies like that in Connecticut..."

And by "that" he meant gun makers and related machine shops. Good riddance to old-timey industries - we should all just learn to code....
