Companies that like CT like it because of a high concentration of educated workers, similar to MA. Manufacturing companies requiring only limited intellect are rare, and, as others have pointed out, a tiny percentage of our workforce.
While you gun fondlers are calling us morons and idiots -- really, the playground level of behavior here on this thread is starting to remind me of the low-education states like SC and FL -- we personally enjoy our high quality of living, thanks very much. Guns, meh.
I'm sure they're necessary for the folks up the mountains for shooting bears when they attack the family dog, but otherwise, we don't really need them or their itty bitty employers. Trust me, the only people whining about it here are a few inbred types who most likely moved here from somewhere else.
And after all those centuries founding schools while the rest of the country was wet behind the ears, we're now the among most educated states, which is why we really don't care what the playground set on this board call us.
It also explains our liberalism better than 17th century Puritanism.
I've met a lot of educated idiots in my lifetime.....

Yes....just a drop in the bucket for self proclaimed intellectually superior leftists.

AR-15 manufacturer Stag Arms could soon follow suit, along with Colt's Manufacturing and Mossberg & Sons. The moves could cost the Nutmeg State 3,000 jobs as well as the estimated $1.75 billion in annual taxable revenues.
I didn't know they employed the entire state, I was referring to the 140 people, that is a sign of a company that has no loyalty unless they offered to take those 140 people with them, and pay for their relocation.
Why do the Obamots constantly insist on commenting from a position of ignorance?

Josh Fiorini, PTR’s CEO, told The Sun News that the company will have 140 employees, many of whom will relocate in the move, which he said will happen over three years.
He said the average wage of the company is about $22 an hour, but that includes management personnel, all of whom are expected to move South. Some of the shop workers are highly-skilled and well-paid, although Fiorini said that those hired locally would likely be paid less as they learn the skills to make the firearms.

How many employees making $22 an hour are going to be paid relocation costs, how many are going to pick up and move to SC. I can guarantee that the CEO is hoping only a few take him up on his offer, I am sure the higher paid skilled workers will go but he can always replace those on the low end with an even lower wage worker in a right-to-work state.

Well PTR sure didn't care, nothing in the legislation impacted their bottom line, where is their concern for employees?

The newly banned weapons could no longer be bought or sold in Connecticut, and those legally owned already would have to be registered with the state, just like the high-capacity magazines.

It's called being a hypocrite. It doesn't matter if it affected their bottom line or not. The employees who work there can't even legally own the products they make since they live in *******ia. It's about law-makers hypocrisy by basically saying they make an evil product not fit for civilian use, but then making manufacturing exemptions so they can sell those same products in other states.
Some weapons were banned, so moving their company to SC and displacing employees accomplished exactly what, they still cannot sell certain firearms in CT. Seems more of a publicity stunt to draw attention while reducing operational cost and salary.
Always some remote possibility, we will see can't wait to hear from the $15 hr employee that doesn't get paid for relocation.
