Plenty of companies move but mostly because cost, CT will just have to live with the loss of 140 employees, not much of a loss. Probably a good move for the company going to an area where they can reduce wages and with a lower cost of living.
cost of living is lower and lower taxes, meaning if they keep the pay scale the same, the workers are still ahead, plus you are not in the Statist North East, which is always a plus.
It's all symbolic and doesn't amount to much, other companies will take the place of those refusing to sell to LE. The financial condition of gun companies is not an issue they have done well the last 4 years but I guess you can always improve the bottom line.
Read that Business link I posted in the last post.... there are a slew of companies moving and/or considering a move, or expanding elsewhere, BECAUSE of these new laws their current state has passed or is debating.
Many companies..., who else besides the other gun manufacturer is considering relocating because they disagree with sensible gun laws. No reason they could have remained but that's their choice.
The article was short on specific reasons.
the major fail w/your post is the "sensible gun laws" that a simple liberal talking point meaning:
"we're going to take baby steps until we've totally disarmed the citizens and turned them into subjects."
the proof is in the pudding.
look @ Kali, the eastern states, NYC, chitcago,
the list of liberals stripping basic American rights away in the name of "sensible" and "its fo' de chilluns" is large.
a liberals version of "responsible gun laws" (I need to go spit, BRB) only affects law abiding citizens, not criminals.
thats the definition of shear stupidity and liberals touch themselves over the thought.
you wouldnt understand why the gun industries has to move,
they have principles, liberal parasites have no understanding of principle.
gun owners have no tolerance for traitors, thats why so few liberals are gun owners.
If a gun manuf. stayed in a state they couldnt sell their own product in,
responsible people in other states wouldnt support them, Magpul is a prime example.
Colt isnt leaving because they were bribed into staying.
they were making arrangements to move their main facility down to the 2nd plant in florida but they miraculously got a new govt contract and they decided to stay.

Yeah, I see what you are saying, but do you think people are going to quit buying remignton after they contracted with NY law enforcement after saying they wouldn't sell to LE in that state? Do you really think Colt is going to lose much biz?
Right now, the federal government is making it impossible to start production(new company) for manufacture of loaded cartridges and shotgun shells. I have been trying for 3 years, to open a big scale operation with over 2 dozen investors chomping at the bit.

What roadblocks do they throw up ? I would think OK would welcome and assist.

They already lost Winchester to SC IIRC. That was a few years ago.
They aren't, but they are also typically paying median wages little more than 50% of Met Life, who Ct is also losing jobs at.
If I were Ct, I'd focus on insurance. This itty bitty 140 employee mom and pop manufacturer was just looking for attention. In the grand scheme of things, 2,200 jobs industrywide in a state with more than 1.5 million jobs is an insignificant industry.
Note: Verizon announec a plan to cut 160 call center positions , including 41 professional positions, in Meriden, Ct today. Did it w/o a press conference, too!! Shazam! This clownish gun mfg firm moving 140 to SC simply pulled off a great P/R stunt. Who would know of their jobs otherwise?

Tell us about the CT gun laws and exactly how they're sensible. Can you explain how they will reduce gun crime? That's rhetorical of course......
