Well, not really...

If they meant it, they would move the HQ, not just the production line.

They need to take a stand and completely GTFO or STFU.

I didn't read that in the other story I read, I guess execs are like, "My wife just finished our 5000 sq. ft house, I CAN'T move to Tenn. What kind of life would she have in Nashville, anyway, of all goddamn places." I'm so ashamed to have been brought up in the northeast. And I was just thinking after the first story, I guess I need to buy a Beretta. This is more like, we gotta move because they forced our manufacturing out of state, or they will shortly.

Need to keep the HQ near DC so they can hand deliver the graf as needed.

Moving a company takes a great deal of effort, planning, and time. This is a good thing and I congratulate Beretta on taking direct action against a foolish and oppressive State government.

One of my wife's HS friends lives in Maryland and is currently visiting in Utah.  She spent about an hour describing how Maryland has a law for micromanaging every part of your life, and every neighbor is conditioned to rat you out to the police for even the most insignificant thing.
