Ruger, and other gun companies will not expand in the Northeast "rust belt". Reasons?

Does Sig assemble and/or manufacturer guns in Exeter? Actually, I think they do so this surprised me as well. The Kahr announcement that they are moving from NY to PA is also a bit of surprise as PA is NOT a Right to Work state. So my assumption that gun companies won't move or expand in the northeast is WRONG. However, I believe the vast majority of manufacturing has moved to the South or off shore.I was just wondering the other day why exactly SIG Sauer put their North American operations in New Hampshire. I think FN got it right putting their plant in South Carolina. I hope Beretta moves down South by one state

Ruger has taken a step down in my opinion. It's now putting too many so-called "safety features" on many of its firearms. It should abandon California and start offering regular guns again.
