Roscoe Regulator Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Am skeptical whether "gun-friendly" had anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides that, in the announcements of both S&W and Beretta, (another recent transplant to the South) they made it plain that the political climate, the new area being gun friendly, was a major factor in their choice of new locations!! All that took was a little reading!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 When the company statement includes something to the effect of we’re moving to a location where guns and the gun business is welcome, it doesn’t take much imagination to figure out what is going on.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Great news! I am hoping/praying that Colt accepts our Governor Abbott's invitation to move to Texas. Sam Colt loved the Texas Rangers, and they should come on down, and set up shop...where they truly belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
