More fallout from the NY SAFE act: FFL relocates from NY to KY
New York's SAFE Act not only made firearm related companies think about looking (or expanding) to other states to do business in a more pro-gun climate. But now it is also affecting retail businesses that sell firearms and firearms related products.

We have a story of an FFL who relocated from New York State to Kentucky for these reasons.
"They told me that after the SAFE ACT was passed, most of their inventory was illegal. This made it impossible to make a living running a family gun store, and as I said, most of their inventory was now illegal and had to go."
So the question is how many others FFL's in NY State and other states like Connecticut and Maryland are going to pick up and move to more gun friendly states as well?
While I'm sure NY State isn't crying over the loss of one FFL, I suspect this isn't the only FFL moving out. If you have 50, 100, 150+ FFL's eventually move out & relocate to other states, it will start to add up to be a financial loss to the state and will have political fallout down the line.
While this might be the first I heard of an FFL moving out of state, I don't think this is an isolated event. I don't think it has been publicized until now.
