Port City OK's variance for new armament company
PORTSMOUTH — A startup company in Portsmouth catering to the defense and sporting industries will be designing firearms, silencers and accessories from its Cutts Street location.
On Tuesday, the Board of Adjustment unanimously approved two variances that will allow Q to operate in the city.
Jessica Gauvin, vice president of business development, and Vice President Robby Johnson explained that the limited liability company is made up of a group of nine people — including eight who worked for Sig Sauer in Portsmouth — and they employ active and retired military to help improve equipment used in battle.

Now the bad news:
Johnson said the secure facility will NOT be a retail shop open to the public.
“We’re not a swinging door,” Johnson said, emphasizing that they would serve the military and large distributors.
