Hornady standing up against New York

[spartandemon]

Wasn’t sure if this was the appropriate forum but since I’m not advocating anything, I thought maybe it best in general guns rather than activism. Just posting the information.

It’s good to know that at least one company in the gun community will fight back against city and state attempts at control.

I guess it's time to shoot the Critical Duty ammo I've been carrying around and go buy some more. It's nice to see a manufacturer standing up to these despots.

Local (relatively) company for me. I'm curious if this will get some kind of discrimination lawsuit the way bakeries and Dick's/Walmart. If we can play that game with age discrimination I bet an entire state will have the resources to twist legal jargon. Either way I glad to see this.

You can file for darn near anything. Doesn't mean the courts will even accept it. The state of NY could file one, but it would go nowhere. Governments & agencies thereof are not a protected class.

Does Hornady sell anything the states they plan to boycott cannot obtain from competitors?

Ronnie Barrett made similar announcements vis a vis California and Hawaii several years ago. Good to see.

Probably not but it's not about if NY can get ammo from other companies. It's that Hornady won't do business with NY.
It's about Honor, not profit...

It’s besides the point. It would be nice, however unrealistic as business’s go, if those competitors followed Hornady’s lead. It’s the statement being made that, really effects the bigger picture, and a show of force that gun companies (or related) are willing to stand up for themselves and not be walked all over by.... well.... pretty much everyone these days.

I NEED TO PICK UP A BOX OF HORNADAY SHELLS.

Nice job, Steve Hornady!

I will buy your stuff for my personal use from now on.

Hopefully Winchester, Remington, CCI-Speer and the rest of the duty ammo makers will follow suit!

Stay safe!

 

[Flechette]

Note to self: buy a bunch of Hornady ammo.

 

[Hokie_PhD]

This is a great start. Now all of the gun companies, other ammo companies and anything else gun related should follow suit and also do the same for CA, MD, MA, IL, DC.

Imagine if police departments in the anti gun states couldn't buy guns, ammo and supplies.

Just picked up 500 Hornady bullets of various sizes and a Hornady loading manual yesterday. Glad I did.

God Bless Steve Hornady.......... IMHO he's one hundred percent correct in labeling NYS's actions as "despicable" . I've been a user of Hornady products for many years and this whole thing reminds me of that thing a few years back when the CEO of Barrett Firearms stopped selling to any government agencies of the state of California due to their rabid anti-gun policies. In the future I'm gonna strive to be a better Hornady customer.

 

[bannockburn]

Kudos to Steve Hornady and his no nonsense approach to sending a clear message to Governor Cuomo and his ilk.

I have been a Hornady customer for many years; now I'm a Hornady customer for life!

For Hornady it is enough. I will buy more of their products. Much more. They went from sometime buy to almost always. We need others in the industry to do the same. What if all the major gun makers would refuse to sell their products to the governments of anti gun states? I live in New York and support their action.

 

[Hokie_PhD]

People complain, but don’t praise.
We should contact them and let them we appreciate this.
I’m going to call and email tomorrow when I have a few minutes.

 

[red rick]

My hat is off to Hornady , I closed my account with Bank of America .

 

[Curator]

I just ordered about $600 of Hornady bullets and reloading stuff. Way to go Steve hornady. You made your Dad proud! Cuomo can KMA. He and his ilk had driven me from Western New York 40 years ago. Pity the New yorkers that can't sell their property and leave,

 

[joe_security]

I have been using the value- priced Hornady "American Gunner" ammo in my concealed carry piece. The XTP bullet is well suited for carry and self defense so I'm glad to support Hornady.

 

[dh1633pm]

Good point Dr Hokie! I will do as you advise and call them. Thanks.

 

[WestKentucky]

Time to place a bulk reloading supply order. I know I need more .224, .277, and 7mm bullets. I may look to see what else I need.

It is about the only jacketed bullets I shoot. I also use their critical defense ammo. In 40S&W it's lively.

 

[Spats McGee]

Going forward, I see myself buying more Hornady products.

I’m not biased towards any brands. My first criteria is value. So I’m always looking for the best quality product for the lowest cost. Now that doesn’t mean the cheapest one, but what I think is the best made that has a good price. Anyway, after quality and price, other factors come into consideration.

So there are a lot of companies now, that I’ll avoid if given the chance. So on the flip side it’s nice to see the opposite. A company that I’ll pick over others if quality and price are close.

In other words, Hornaday has now jumped to the top of the list of companies that I’ll look at this way.
