good on them for taking their "people" with them, far better to move state than ship offshore.
if enough big industry did this the B.S. artists Embarassed

I mean polititions MAY wake up and smell the doggy doodoos but I wouldn`t hold my breath in wait.

Nice to see this! Its a bit too far for me to comute though. However I hear rumors that another "major firearms manufacturer" is planning to build a plant about 40 miles from here. Wonder what they pay...

What I find interesting is the the founder/owner is the son of the 'moonies' cult leader, hell of a shift of perspective from the old man wouldn't you think!!!!

I wonder how New Yorkers feel about losing a 75-100 million dollar business? Guess we'll find out after the next elections.

The article says its moving to "gun-friendly" PA. I don't think they are moving far enough away from NY, Taxachusetts, and Conneticut. PA will be assimulated soon enough.

I hear that Ruger is looking at a location here in NC. Not moving but expanding.

That is still a "good thing"-they can use that expansion as leverage later on to help "influence" the legislature in conneticut!Their answer to tax us more-then we already have a plant to move to with a better tax base and our supply line and vendors are already established there!Now why don't you polititions just go and suck some eggs?
