There are times when it is better to leave a burning house in an unfriendly neighborhood and build a bigger and better house in a more friendly environment.

I was once told that "The strong give up and leave. The weak give up and stay."

Not sure if that's true or not, but sometimes you just do what you have to do.

Better relocate all of those weapon and ammo factories to solid red states. What could go wrong for the blue states?

What is fascinating, the libtards are pushing the sources of their protection and policy enforcement, away, to areas that eventually will fight them, should this country come to arms, thereby, “shooting themselves in the foot”.

Have you seen this? We are traveling in the wonderful Red State South at the moment... I don’t have access to any of my ping lists...

No AWB or mag ban in Michigan.

Agreed. Michigan is good. We are an outdoorsy type of place anyway.

When I suggest to family members that America's beginning to look like Germany in the 1930’s and that we'd better leave while we can. They always stop me cold with, “And go where?”

Any ideas?

I seriously doubt that Colt or any other firearm mfg, will move from where they currently are. It would cost millions to move a large company. Many millions. A small company like Magpul can move with far less expenses. Expenses that probably will be covered by incentives from any state they choose to move to.

Come west! There’s a strip of states from North Dakota to Texas who’d be happy to have ya! Set up in Fargo, and maybe the townspeople will run off the idiot mayor there. (money talks, bullsh*t walks)

Indiana is the logical site for relocation. Low taxes, shall issue, and we’ve already named our NFL team after them.

I suspect the 2A climate will change, eventually.

Considering it has been going since before the NFA of '34, eventually could be a long time.

I don’t see why the folks in Connecticut are so upset about what amounts to post birth abortions.

Shield Tactical moved both their manufacturing & training to Texas just last month. From California. They painted “GTT” “Gone To Texas” on their CA homes when they left.

I moved from CT to TX in 2011, and kept saying “I could get used to this” — now absolutely love it. Colt, please consider Texas!

They'd have to move from Maryland, first.

The cherry on top..... Indiana is still a yankee state so there will be no need to learn southern customs and manners
