I’m no experts, but I believe that fire-arm making requires a highly-skilled, highly-experienced workforce. So these companies would want to take their employees with them, helping them re-locate. I don’t think they’d ditch their employees...
I love the Headline, “good intentions”.
The road to Communism, (or is it Fascism), is paved with Good Intentions.
I own a Stag AR-15 and some Stag accessories. I will not buy another item from them unless they relocate to a Free State.
I have no interest in empowering the Fascist Government in CT or any other “Blue” State with my hard earned money.
Time for Stag to grow a set and stand by the convictions of their Customer Base.
In one short Generation we have went from Yankee ingenuity to to Yankee disengenuity
Cognitive dissonance.
“I dont really see that as being contradictory.”
There’s some serious BS walkin’.
Not at all (BS). This is a classic example of the leftists/proglodytes ability to hold two contradictory positions at once. See “cognitive dissonance.”
Which state is no. 1?
....word.
Yes, I notice that too. It is sad that this is the tone of most news articles. No one can imagine a POTUS who intends to destroy the US. The intentions are not good, indeed.
I agree.
I Agree
Let the utopian liberal fascists have Connecticut. Stag Arms should move to Texas.IMHO they will not likely ever have to worry about moving again.
I looked at the same site: http://www.vpc.org/studies/gunfour.htm
and Texas is #1 with California right behind. CT is #6.

Whether or not they move to Arizona, I hope gun manufacturers look at small towns for their bases.
I almost fell out of my chair!
Would love it if they came to Arizona, especially to my home hometown (population approximately 50,000), just outside the main gate of the US Army’s Ft Huachuca (pronounced Waw Chew Ka) and only approximately 28 miles east of Tombstone, Arizona.
Have courage, CT gun manufacturers & workers. I moved from CT to TX over a year ago and business is booming, it’s warmer, and there’s no state income tax.
When you leave (not IF) please paint GTT (Gone to Texas) on your front doors and leave those urban slums, I-95, the Merritt, and teeny colonials behind for the good life!
