I think they thought we were bluffing in the 1990s, Reh said. But Berettas dont bluff.

Relocating high-tech machining equipment and vats of chrome used to plate Beretta barrels would be costly and out of character for a company that is still based in the Italian town where it began in 1526.
The companys Italian patriarch, Ugo Gussalli Beretta, visited the plant shortly after OMalley introduced his gun-control bill, and the two discussed the issue. But Reh declined to say if the two reached any decisions about what would happen if the governors bill passes.
All I can tell you is, Mr. Beretta said, There always seems to be a problem with Maryland.
Baretta, the people of Texas extend you a hearty welcome. We would love for you to bring your plants down here where we respect the 2nd Amendment. As a side benefit, with you guys moving down here, we might be able to finally get some good pizza around here. :-D
we have open carry, and is the reddest of the red states.
tell Maryland to take a long walk off a short pier
Thats how my city lured Cabellas.
They should have pulled out of MD a long time ago.

Bring those lines to Wisconsin, albeit we have cold weather here. We have some of the best machinists in the world within our borders and moving a line here would be a piece of cake.
Mr. Reh, a better question might be: "Why pay business taxes to a state that wants to destroy you?"
I think they thought we were bluffing in the 1990s, Reh said. But Berettas dont bluff.
the protest solution is to flood the market with unmarked unstamped 3d created magazines. Make legislation meaningless.
Welcome to NC- we need the jobs! Right to work state! Lots of people who buy guns!
"Hah theah. Come on down t'Texas."
During the CW1, the North had the lion share of arms manufacturing.
It seems that the Blue states are not giving that much thought this time around. Gun and ammo production are all headed Red.
Come on out to Kaleephornya.......no, wait......just...damn.
There always seems to be a problem with Maryland.
Yup.
South Dakota..no income tax, good conservative people and a long tradition of using firearms.
Those of us that live in Texas that do not wish to be a part of a communist dictatorship strongly encourage all gun and bullet manufacturers to move to the once and future Republic of Texas...
BTW... There is a nice little industrial park behind our place with easy (1 mile) access to IH-35 located halfway between DFW and San Antonio, the conservative Heart of Texas.
The bottom line is that blue states are just no longer conducive to business. There are many red states where not only could Beretta have an almost ideal manufacturing set up, with lots of acreage, energy and water for their plant, in a major transportation zone, but they could even have a luxurious “company town” for their executives and employees.
And very little local or state government interference, except in helpful ways they have solicited.
It would be their own version of Walt Disney World.
MD has always been weak on the right to bear arms. In fact, it doesn't even appear in their constitution. This is reason enough for freedom loving citizens to vacate the state.
Beretta is welcome to come to PA. The right to bear arms in PA Shall not be questioned.
I doubt they would have those sort of problems in Arizona or a lot of other places.
