And a couple of years ago they got permission to sell it at the Distillery gift shop. That is the only place in the county that you can buy liquor and a huge tourist draw that the county I guess finally realized.

Loving it... great to see a company help prove how a making a hostile enviroment for companies, is a way to get them to go away. People wonder why stuff moves overseas.

Have to commend them on the brave marketing technique.

You should have done better research. When Tennessee passed a state-wide alcohol prohibition in 1910 Jack Daniels promptly moved their operations to St. Louis and Alabama. Then all their production was shut down during nation-wide prohibition.

The special exemption was passed in an effort to get them back. I'm sure there were many other incentives added to sweeten the deal.

Using a similar time frame for Magpul, Colorado might see those 600 jobs again in about 28 years.

I believe the magazine ban passed. Good news for Magpul getting to move to another more business friendly environment, bad news for Magpul employees not wishing to relocate.

Don't forget to be a kind neighbor and give priority for CO residents wanting to buy your spare hicap mags.

Worst case there's always a 3D printer. They seem to have perfected making mags,some pistol frames and an AR 15 lower while printing at home.
