Isn't that why businesses exist? To make profit? If they stay in an environment that could possibly curtail their ability to do business, wouldn't that affect their profit? Personally, I think they made a smart move. Their expenses may be similar, but they are in a climate that is more accepting of their business.
Their expenses aren't similar. From my first post:
"TN is a "right to work" state, wages are low compared to MD (roughly $12.50 an hour starting wage for manufacturing), TN has abated the state taxes for 10 years, a gift of $10MM up front and the property will be at a reduced/no cost."

So that makes it even a smarter move on their behalf. I don't see the problem here.
My point was in response to the OP who believes that the only reason they left MD was because of the gun laws.
What proof is there that they lowered the paid wage and/or even pay that low of a wage? I work in the manufacturing business, and while the starting rate of an unskilled assembly line worker or machine operator is usually around $11-$12, that rate increases annual or semiannual reviews. Most max out around $18 or so dollar + benefits + cost of living raises.

Wow it makes sense for Beretta to move but their poor employees. Those folks are highly skilled in the production of firearms now what will they do?
I am sure Tennesee will welcome Berettaand the jobs and taxes they will create.
It is silly how a product can be so demonised that it is driven out of a state by the moon bat do good left wingers.
Imagine if General Motors was shown the door due to their products that kill and maim more people than all the gun manufacturers put together.
Personally I would like to see some of these drug companies put out of business due to the side effects and the millions of people that are hooekd on their products.
Move with them, by moving to a lower cost of living by default you are making more money.
Plus Tennessee has lower taxes, and understands and respects the 2nd Amendment right of all person in their state.
