LOL at Gunmaker.

Eta: why have manufacturing in WY but headquarters in TX? Seems counterproductive.

Yeah, because moving a company of that size is totally easy.

Sad to see them go. They warned the government that this would be among the price they'd pay if they passed these laws. I hope the democrats are happy about losing jobs and tax revenue for a law that does nothing to promote public safety.

They could care less. Its all about their political agenda which doesn't include gun ownership.

So now that Magpul is so close to LaRue...will we see a surge of UDE equipment

So...they picked the conservative stronghold that is Austin?

AWESOME!

Add Beretta to that announcement as well....nothing better than giving liberal states the finger and moving to a more gun friendly state

Great, but the comments hurt my head reading them.

Good, but I don't think it will have any affect on the liberals. I think they are too out of touch with business and finance to even notice or be able to figure out what's going on.
Two CHinooks in a row, now we need CFII to post.

Sucks for Colorado gun owners but it's good to see magpul make good on their promise.

When The Obama's immigration reform kicks in and a majority of those Mexicans become voting Americans (in name only) then Texas will be one of the bluest states in the Union.

Doesn't say if they relocated their CO workforce or let them go

Glad to see Magpul make the jump, but when I read these articles of manufacturers relocating to more friendly states I can't help but think of the Titanic, we've already hit the iceberg, the bow is going under and everyone is running to the stern trying to delay the inevitable, my hope and optimism that we can hold back the water is quickly leaving...

They moved manufacturing to Cheyenne, Colorado... I assume many of them commute to the new facility.

As a native and life long Texan, I would like to extend a warm and sincere welcome to the magpul family.

And let me know if you need any finance guys.

So the corporate HQ is in Austin

and the manufacturing happens in Wyoming

So the libs can cry all they and it won't affect them now!

Austin??

Seems a bit odd to move from a liberal state to a liberal city. Austin leans WAAAAYYYYY Left.

good points both of you.

sometimes i wish we could move all of them to their own country so they could fuck it up on their own without involving the rest of the free citizens. tho i'm sure the crime rate would be pretty high cos none of them would be allowed to protect themselves...
