Shield Tactical, a California retailer and firearms training provider, has decided to ‘get the heck out of Dodge’ — and move to Texas
John W. Harrington founded Shield Tactical in 2008, but with California’s hard-line stance on gun control, he decided the state was no longer a good place for his business. Harrington, originally from Texas, said it was finally “time to go home.”
“
The state of California treats all businesses as necessary evils,” he told Red Alert. “They treat those of us in the gun business as just evil. They make it very clear that they don’t want us there. It’s just that simple.”
Harrington hasn’t calculated the total cost of the relocation — which will not include their training division — but he expects it to be “in the tens of thousands.” He considers the investment “well worth it,” if only for the attention it has brought to the cause of gun rights advocates.
Meanwhile, Beretta and Magpul are also considering parting ways with Maryland and Colorado, respectively.....snip~
Goodbye California, Hello Texas: Gun Retailer Announces Move - Leah Barkoukis
Here is another Gun Retailer leaving a Blue State.....note now Beretta and Magpul are now considering leaving a Blue State. Course now they can start to charge those in Blue States more for any Orders. Even for their L.E.'s. Shipping and handling.....huh? Its not just California.
Illinois has gone ahead with their own gun Laws despite a court order telling them to comply with the Constitution. Course these Demos around here were never much for following court orders anyways.
