Harry Callahan: Every day for the past ten years, Loretta there’s been giving me a large black coffee. Today she gives me a large black coffee, only it has sugar in it, a lotta sugar. I just came back to complain. Now, you boys put those guns down.

Harry Callahan: Well, we’re not just gonna let you walk out of here.
Crook: Who’se we sucka?

So glad to see S & W get out of MA! We did 3 years ago next week, and we’re still celebrating.

Just bring ‘em in!” Our kind of folks.)
Prescott/Prescott Valley has been trying to get Ruger to move their corporate HQ here. They already make most of their handguns here.
I believe Glock USA has always been in Georgia.
