I bought a Spyderco last weekend. I see it is made in CO... I feel kind of dirty now.

I think they only did it to spite Kirk. They WERE going to stay like he kept saying, then it was like, "Let's really move and show him up!"

If I owned it I would have done something like that

It was probably that appearance RichFitz made a month or so ago in this thread that finally solidified his resolve. We are are a powerful, influential group, here on INGO.

If you paid more attention, you would clearly see where they mention taunting from a certain Kirk Freeman as being the sole impetus for the move.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Yeah, how dare a gun company shine us on.

It's like Ruger shining us on repeatedly. I mean, when is the last time anyone has bought a Ruger . . . *looks at Ruger's last reported quarter* . . . nevermind.

If Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged today, Wyoming would host Galt's Gulch. Good call on their part choosing two locations. That way when TX goes full commie they still have WY.

Politely but firmly disagree. Wyoming doesn't have riparian water rights. Wyo has property tax, and requires licensure to carry concealed. Indiana is closer to Rand's idyll than Wyo: at least we have riparian water rights.

I think they just stayed long enough to enjoy some of that legal weed before heading out.

Denver Post lefty commenters think legalized pot income will more than replace lost Magpul jobs and are happy to see them go. Yeah right. Lets choose pot heads over AR owners. Seems like a dumb choice but it's what the voters in Colorado wanted.

 

[9MillSBR]

I really wanted to live in Colorado in the future, but now with this CA style government and hippies out there, im not quite sure if I want too anymore.

 

[cosermann]

Say goodbye to another 400 jobs (plus supporting business) Colorado.

Thats just dumb on his part. Even if pot creates more jobs and booms their local economy, they're still better off with those 400 jobs from Magpul. Plus, no fear of the Feds busting down those pot shops when it's politically convenient.

Well done Magpul. I don't believe Texas is the beacon of freedom and gun ownership they're portrayed to be but they must have gotten a better financial deal there than some place like Arizona. Big win for Wyoming too!

Texas (#14) is now ahead of Indiana (#16) on the freedom ranking.

Does this mean I can say "Magpul" again on the internet?

I don't think other industries will be flocking there in light of the legalized pot situation, so they had better make enough off of the pot industry.

Texans need to remain vigilant. Many in the 2012 Reelection Campaign have been put behind this.

Where is Magpul moving to?

Texas and Iowa I think
