I would bet their government contracts that they stay put in maryland, and don’t say boo about anything, along with all of the other large firearm and ammunition manufacturers in the northeast. They will not jeopardize their business relationship with their largest customer, let alone risk being shut out of their largest market if they don’t play along. Business is business, even in banana republics.
Then what prevents them from splitting the company into two businesses, and simply relocating the private sector part out of Maryland? Government customers get the Maryland production while everyone else gets the production from the other entity in another state.
In a subtle way that could be a way to spite their largest customer.
