I have Marlin and Mossberg in my town alone, CT has stag arms amonst many other manfs. The reason why they are in "Anti' gun states I think has alot to do with the history of them being here in gun valley, as well as its location later on to interstate 95 for shipping across the East Coast. Alot of companies however have been exported to other states and countries which is a shame. Last I heard they were going to make a Colt Museum out of the old building, but then I heard appartments, what a joke, this state could benefit so much from tourism if it wernt so concerned with being politically correct with it's actual production and contribution to the firearms industry.
