Saw on the news that STAG Arms is moving out of Connecticut to South Carolina.
The only thing I saw was that PTR Industries is definitely moving from CT to SC.Saw on the news that STAG Arms is moving out of Connecticut to South Carolina.
A gun manufacturer is considering buying the entire 620-acre Pike County business park for $2 million to escape an unfriendly gun climate in New York.
Kahr Firearms Group would move its corporate headquarters from in Pearl River, N.Y., to Pike County, bringing a some 100 jobs, company spokesman Frank Harris said.
That's absurd. The owners aren't trying to make political points. The owners are moving their businesses out of ever more hostile environments. The blame rests with the politicians in those states who are driving businesses away because they wanted to make political points by passing anti-gun laws that do nothing for public safety, but further infringe upon the rights of law abiding citizens.All because their boss wants to make a political point.
It's not about politics, it's about good business. These companies have a responsibility to stay in business and stay solvent. If they are in a hostile business climate (high tax, anti gun), moving makes sense.I feel sorry for the workers at these companies. With the company moving they have the hard choice to either uproot their families and move to keep their job or start looking for a new job. All because their boss wants to make a political point.

The owner of the company is throwing all of his employees life into turmoil simply because he didn't get his way. It is political, it is petty, and it shows a lack of respect for one's employees.
A company moving from Connecticut to North Carolina does not change who they can sell their product to. Newly prohibited items will still be prohibited in Connecticut. Moving is a political statement, nothing more.
Edit: "What is wrong with making a political point?" This particular political point will disrupt the lives of every one of their employees and their families. Even if an employee decides to follow the company to keep his or her job it won't be easy. Most families have two working spouses so the spouse will need to find a job in NC equivalent to their current job. Kids will change school and lose friends. Houses need to be bought and sold complete with all hassle and fees involved. The owner of the company is throwing all of his employees life into turmoil simply because he didn't get his way.

Do you live under a rock? Seriously. MagPul is having to move from Colorado because CO's mag capacity limitations also made it illegal to manufacture those mags in CO for civilian sales outside of CO where the mags are still legal. That law was pushed through with heavy funding by Bloomberg and his ilk. They've made their model clear. CT is much more anti gun than CO. Do you think these companies should just sit and wait for CT to pass a similar and force them to move? Isn't it more prudent to either move to a more friendly state, or start making plans to move before being forced to?A company moving from Connecticut to North Carolina does not change who they can sell their product to.

Complete BS. Nothing in Colorado House Bill 13-1224 bans the manufacture of magazines for sale outside of Colorado. See section 3:
They could have fired people and "right sized" their staff to meet demand like a large corporation would do but instead they did the right thing.
