The focal point for Texas firearms information and discussions

There are several States willing to take jobs away, from Commiefornia, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. Texas being one of them. I hope this starts a trend of gun manufacturers, fleeing places, that are front and center, of the movement, to do away with the 2A.puma guy wrote: Mon Jun 17, 2019 7:24 pm The company which announced it's leaving California back on January 2018 held it's Grand Opening in Sheridan, WY

It was an interesting tour where I got to see how they make their various types of knives.
Originally, they were a California company.

Yes. I didn't mean to imply they've switched all their knife making overseas. Economics drove them to transfer certain knives to the China factories according to a blog I read when I found some of them coming from China.
