My old Mossberg 500 is one of my most reliable shotguns.
Glad to see their corporate is wising up and moving to good country!
gotta luv da Mossy!
I love my .270 bolt action Mossberg. Very smooth action and have never missed. One shot, one deer in the freezer. And that’s with the stock scope the rifle came with.
There are many medium-sized cities in Texas that would welcome Mossberg. Avoid the large cities. They are being over run by out of state Libs who have ruined their former home states and will attempt to do the same in Texas.
I am starting to worry about all the gun manufacturers collecting in a small number of states. If they every turn blue (by hook or by crook) a few lefty governors could close down the entire industry. The old eggs in one basket warning.
Almost forgot, welcome to Texas, Mossberg!
I will be quite happy to welcome Mossberg to Texas. As will all other Texans.
It might make business sense and it might be a good thing to do, but if government provides incentives that are coercively funded, it isn’t a free market.
The gun mfgs are escaping the northeast for more 2nd amendment friendly states.
Texas will turn blue when h3ll freezes over!
Everything is coercively funded including that property you paid for but really rent from the county.
Where is the coercive funding when a farmer sells oranges from his own orchard at a roadside stand?
Hopefully they aren’t all being heavily subsidized
6th generation Texan here!
“lifelong Texan”
Must be an I-35 Texan.....
“The gun mfgs are escaping the northeast for more 2nd amendment friendly states.”
More likely they are fleeing the high costs (payrolls and taxes). The costs of doing business in the socialist havens are simply too high; these minimum-wage increase pushes are taking place in them because nobody can afford to live there, and it is impossible to motivate somebody to work for minimum wage when an hour’s pay wouldn’t get you two gallons of gas, a plain pizza, or a pack of cigarettes.
Turns out that it’s a 10:1 or higher payback in tax revenue. San Antonio’s economy has benefited hugely from the Toyota plant there - and Toyota is moving their US HQ to Plano without any additional incentive because they liked what they found after they set up the truck plant here.
Because I don’t think business should all be on the taxpayer dime I can’t be a real Texan?
“Because I don’t think business should all be on the taxpayer dime I can’t be a real Texan?”
No, not at all. I have a Libertarian streak too. But, incentivizing businesses to relocate to Texas is ok with me. Besides, something about you causes me to think you may not be a Texan. Come on, fess up, lol :)
Very true. The world's most famous milling machine (the Bridgeport) was first produced in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
