Beretta Leaves MD

Beretta warned that stricter gun control laws would push the company
outside of state lines, but that didn’t stop Maryland legislators.
Jeffrey Reh, a spokesman for Beretta who also serves as the President of
Stoeger Industries under Beretta, announced that the company would
begrudgingly uproot and take its business elsewhere. He said, “We don’t
want to do this, we’re not willing to do this, but obviously this
legislation has caused us a serious level of concern within our
company.”

He added that Beretta paid approximately $31 million in taxes,
employs 400 people, and had invested $73 million in the business over
the past several decades. Despite being such a prominent player in the
local economy, Beretta was unable to prevent legislators from passing
tighter gun control laws. Ironically, Beretta manufactures some firearms
that are now banned in Maryland.

I salute Beretta for their steadfast dedication and resolve!

We can hope that this relocation prompts other companies to be as bold. A company that has principles and the willingness to step up live by them! What a great idea! We all need to do the same.

We may end up with too many Liberal states IF we don't get on the ball and take offenseive action! I think MD., Co., New York, and Conn. have bitten off more than they can chew! Lets help our Pards in those states to VOTE'EM out! Join NRA or other pro-gun group and get to work! Also lets support our LE friends ( Most are pro-gun) and show the" low information voters" how stupid gun control is !

Now if Beretta will also refuse to sell to MD, NY, CA, CO, either state, county, or municipality governments, full guns or parts or service. Ditto any federal agency other than military.

Well I know one state that they are not moven to . New York . This cesspool I live in they are now locking up the politicians. It seems that you can buy a vote.

Wonder how much it cost Blomberg.

While I would applaud the move, and hate to see the leave here, this is not official, at least as of last night. The news article was based on statements made during the hearings and has not been officially announced. Mr. Reh was pretty emphatic in his statements, but that is no guarantee of action. We will wait and see.

And when they rehire and repartner in their new location, I certainly hope they can test for political affliation and network with people of like mind.
