Gun business exodus begins in Colorado

The "Exodus" to get out of Colorado for firearms related companies is on. HiViz Shooting Systems (manufacturer of gun parts) leaves Colorado for nearby Laramie Wyoming because Colorado passed controversial gun control laws recently. Laramie is only an hour away from the Colorado location.
“The decision to relocate the company was difficult, and choosing the proper location was essential to our continued growth within the industry,” said president and CEO Phillip Howe in a press release. “We look forward to settling into our new home in the firearm friendly state of Wyoming.”
The article mentions another company Magpul which makes magazines in Colorado might move to Texas. The article also said that Magpul is expected to announce their new location after the NRA convention this weekend.
I think this is a great message to send, that companies are willing to leave the state (in this economy) over anti-gun legislation. Thus the state and the politicians will have to answer to the people over loss of jobs due to the state's laws.
