Beretta USA building new Facility in Gallatin, TN

Smith & Wesson, you're next! Why are they still in MA, which is the epicenter for much of modern liberalism?

CMT and Colt also need to move out of CT ASAP.

Here's a quote: "Cooper said no Maryland employee will be impacted for many months, and the company will meet with employees to discuss their interest in taking a position in Tennessee."

And Kimber and the remainder of the Freedom Group in NY. Savage as well out of MA. LWRC out of Maryland. And Mossberg out of CT...

The list could go on. Now if any of them are interested, Oklahoma is growing and has a good cost of living. Plenty of transportation networks, etc.

I kinda figured as much. I'm not sure of the cost of living between Maryland and Nashville metro, but can't be much.

They tax the rain that falls on your property here in MD...

Maryland has a 4.75% state income tax if you make between 3K-100K. Any employees deciding to relocate would be getting (in effect) a 4.75% raise right off the bat.

Oh, if they're smart they wouldn't live in Metro Nashville. Outlying communities are a MUCH better choice, but it's probably like that anywhere.

Now if only the rest of the manufacturers would GTFO of the ban States, things would be perfect.

Cough* Colt *Cough

On a more serious note, good on Beretta for moving tax dollars. I hope their business grows and the economy of Gallatin and TN flourishes, not only for the benefit of the people of TN but also to encourage other firearm businesses to do the same.

Good for Beretta. Instead of slinging some BS form letter they gave actual reason that influences their choices. That Tikka is looking more and more promising.
