Troy Industries relocating to Tennessee

[Slater]

Guess that was inevitable at some point:

"TROY Industries has just announced that they will be moving both their headquarters and manufacturing plant to Clarksville, Tennessee. You may be familiar with TROY Industries from their popular line of sporting rifles including the unique TROY Pump Action Rifle (PAR). The move, which is taking place to “ensure the success of the company” citing the “changing climate for firearms manufacturers” as the impetus for the relocation. The 5-year plan will begin in June costing $7.2 million and creating 75 new jobs."

But the real question is, "Who cares?"

I would argue this is a company that’s actually putting their money where their mouth is. I’m not a Troy fan boy by any means, but if you guys want to go back to arguing what kind of shoes,underwear, and socks the seal team is wearing during their force on force training by all means go ahead and jack off to their Instagram some more.

In actual news that makes a shit we have a company leaving an East Coast shit hole and moving to a more free state to provide jobs and tax revenue there. I call that a win.

Well, considering they currently have about 40 people so planning to run up to 75 is significant growth. Especially if, as it seems to indicate, that would mean 75 "new" jobs on top of the 40 they already provide. Plus, moving economic assets out of commie states is always a good thing.

Troy makes some fine products. I ain't 100% down with some of their company beliefs RE: 2A / Citizen liberties, but ...

That was the vein of my comment.

To the extent that shit hole communists are starved for revenue, that's a good thing that I can't argue against. But, I don't for a second believe it's due to any kind of felicity for the average citizens 2A rights.

I vaguely recall something about Troy and RKBA issues. Can someone refresh my memory?

Troy SOCC handguards were the bomb diggity...also their carbon fiber 308 handguard.
But that was at discount prices, and I don’t go out of my way to purchase Troy products.

A subsidiary of the company hired a very outspoken Anti Gun Ex Cop from Chitcago as a Trainer. They also hired and worked with Lon Horiuchis spotter, who essentially testified that shooting Vickie Weaver in the head was hunky dorie and he would have done the same.

LOL, I'm all for every gun related manufacturer flipping off and leaving every commie shithole state, because **** those those guys, but I've never bought a Troy product in my life and don't see that changing.

Yes, that is what I recall hearing. Thanks.
