I would be very surprised if any of the gun manufacturers move out. It would cost them a ton to pick up and move lock, stock and barrel. Probably way too much to make any such move viable. None of the four are near as small as say, Magpul with only about 150 employees. These guys are huge. Nope, I think they will be staying. I think the Connecticut government took that into consideration when they voted on theses laws.

That said, I hope to hell all four pull up and move to a friendlier state.

Colt, not sure. Stag seems much more likely to move as they are smaller.

Oh hell, it’s been done by FAR larger companies. They’d get enough tax incentives and other bennies from a couple dozen other states that this will be a no-brainer.

Yeah.....they’ll move. Let the drooling Yankees rot in their own feces and get OUT.

If they do not abandon these fascist slave states, boycott them. There are lots of choices out there and most are equal in quality to the big boys.

The libtards do this all the time. Time for us to do it too. DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!

Colt is moving their Colt Competition operation from Oregon to Texas.

I am making no predictions, but I will be surprised if at least 1 of them does not move to Texas.

They will make more money here, have less hassle doing business, have better banks to work with, pay no State Income Tax. And Texans are die hard gun lovers.

Win/Win

You’re going to be very surprised. There is a LOT happening behind the scenes in the firearms industry. I’ll just say that we’re putting a shock and awe campaign together that is going to leave not only state governments reeling, but the Federal Government as well.

Maryland, Connecticut, New York, Colorado, etc. are all about to feel the impact of the consequences of these anti gun laws. Their law enforcement officers better get good with bows and arrows real fast.

What we need to do is buy one share of the CT gun makers stock. Then introduce a proposal to move that will have to be voted on at the next annual meeting.

Umm, suggest you prepare yourself to be surprised. Per an article on Yahoo, extracted from Dallas Morning News I believe, Colt competition has already secured a site in Breckenridge, Tx and is advertising in the local paper for applications. About being too difficult to move; I have managed several Green Field start ups and its not that difficult, especially if its led by a superb Start-Up Mgr such as myself :)
