And where would the state find jobs for those machinists at some other company in CT? On the unemployment lines those people would stay. Sad for the families, but the state would be to blame.
Outstanding, good on you Beretta! now I really do need to buy that 92fs I've been lusting over
That's just funny. Return the karma and sell the prebans to someone else in MA before you leave. It rains PMAGs from the sky here anyway.
With 27 acres you can easily make your own range.
Colt moving out of CT would be Huge.
SWEET!!Another reason I'm glad I bought this yesterday.

MA says I can't buy a new one?
Well F*ck you very much, I got one anyway. Thanks and good luck Beretta!
I already have a 92fs..... I don;t know what to get from them now. I like their bolt guns. They own Sako don't they?
I don't see S&W leaving in the near term. The average tenure of their employees is 30 years. I don't know how many would move if the company moved and I don't know if S&W could maintain production with new employees. Is moving to NH or ME feasible? Perhaps, but those are both increasingly blue states, so it would likely only be a temporary improvement.
Meanwhile, it's nice to see Beretta taking their business elsewhere. I think that's a bigger hit for Maryland than Magpul and Hi Viz leaving CO.
Did you ever see the writing on some of the S&W's made in Maine? It says made in Houlton Maine on the slide. They started out making handcuffs and some other S&W items, then a .22 pistol, now a lot more is being made there. S&W has been moving some of it's operations out of Massachusetts for about 25 or 30 years now. The people there love the company because they provide much needed jobs in the perpetually bad economy of Northern Maine.
