Colorado Gov. Expected to Sign Mag Ban, Magpul Packing Their Bags

They say the first Pmags will be made out of state within 30 days of the signing. Sounds like they already had plans to move.

 

[scottka]

Yeah, they most definitely had plans to move rom everything I've read. It was just a matter of green lighting it. Glad to see a company stand up for what it believes and for its customers. Good luck to Magpul!

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Wow...Outdoor Channel too...You gotta admire somebody making such a promise and sticking to it. This can't be cheap.

 

[No2rdame]

It's just a shame we can't lure them here. Magpul, made in Indiana. There are plenty of Hoosiers that could use the jobs, and we'd treat the company much better than the Republik of Kolorado did.

 

[DanVoils]

I would hope that whatever state they move to gives them some allowances and tax breaks.

The Governors stupidity amazes me! His state will LOSE $85 million! Lose!
Stupid people should have an open season.

Who is John Galt?

But if his actions save just ONE life in Colorado then it will all be worth it.

 

[Coach]

I will second the nomination of them coming here.

Indiana wasn't listed in the article among states vying for Magpul but we have a lot to offer. Plastics experience from the auto industry, gun and business friendly environment, interstates (Crossroads of America), several airports, close to UPS hub in Louisville and people that remember how to work for a living.

I do not know where they are moving but I am glad to see them stick to the plan. No need to manufacture in a state that outlaws your product. I would love to see others follow in their footstep. Gun makers need to do the same.

Who is John Galt?

Not a union member, but I heard that he went on strike.

 

[jzwhts]

I used to think I would like to visit Colorado. Used to!!

 

[tohm]

There seems to be a liberal point of view dominating politics. Because people do not want to be educated and make tough decision they want the government to take care of them and this is all part of that agenda.

 

[Joe G]

I would hope that whatever state they move to gives them some allowances and tax breaks.

Totally agree. They'll cut a deal for tax breaks and other financial incentives - in the end it won't cost them much, if anything.

Ironically enough Galt's Gulch was in Colorado, LOL.

My guess is they won't move too far, given that they may want to try to retain as many of their employees as possible. Many beieve in and have the same principles as the Magpul execs, but may not be as "mobile" when it comes to relocation.

A move isn't easy, so wouldn't be suprised if they end up just across the border in Wymoing or Nebraska depending on gun laws in those states.

 

[Racechase1]

Wyoming is closer,and a lot nicer, scenery wise then Nebraska.

 

[Shoots4Fun]

Feel terrible for the employees there but can't say enough about the character of the owners to stand on their principles. Not easy to do when that sort of money and roots are involved.

Magpul

I emailed them a few weeks back about Indiana welcoming their business. I think I sent them a link too about the discussion here about how much support they'll get.
