mmmm stay in ct where not wanted and taxed up the ying yang.
orrrrr
move to another state that will practically build a factory, no income tax for employees, PAY for the employees to move, and welcome you with a parade....
when did ct become the state stupid people lived? oh yes, when the MSM elites moved in so they could just commute to NYC...
Nothing but trouble lies there.
Relocate to America.
They already have a factory on Texas to make Maverick shotguns.
I know one thing. I always think twice before buying when I see that a gun is made in Connecticut..
We have two things in common, choice of state and choice of shotgun.
Historcally, firearms manufacture was prevalent in New England, and the state of CT, in particular, since the days of Eli Whitney, who was the first person to demonstrate the mass production of firearms. Sam Colt set up shop in Hartford, in the early 1800's to produce his revolutionary new revolving cylinder pistol. Others, who had started under his tutelage, spun off, and began their own companies nearby.
Oddly enough, one of the major reasons that the South lost the Civil War, was the fact that manufacturing was largely centered in the North. The South had little manufacturing capabilities of its own, relying on imports, which were strangled due to the Union blockade. What little manufacturing capabilities of its own the South possessed, were utilized primarily to manufacture copies of the 1851 Colt Navy revolver. They had neither Sam Colt's blessing, or approval in this, Sam being a staunch Unionist...
