Why shouldn't they move to Texas? They already said they will leave a state that is unfriendly to them. Since Texas currently has a high enough population and the most tax friendly laws in the country, why shouldn't a business consider it? He not only has made offers to that company, but has made offers to any company that finds their current location to be overly burdensome due to taxes and state laws.
The only downside to such a move by the gun maker or any other company would be if it caused brain-dead liberals to move also, thus infecting Texas and possible causing a repeat of the same conditions that caused the moves.
Well take your companies and the good people, you keep the Liberals, progressives and any other socialist/commies.

good point, which i have raised to of other subjects, ...what is the point of liberals /progressives leaving states which support their valves and they have voted for.......to now move to a state which does not support their values.
in short........why leave California which you have turn into a socialist state by your actions, and move to a state with more liberty.... because the socialist state you created screwed you over with it laws/ regulations and taxes....thats what you voted for
It's harder to make the glorious revolution happen from such distances. :roll:
PTR Industries has a whopping 42 employees. It won't be missed.
AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Texas Governor Rick Perry on Friday said a gun manufacturer that has decided to leave Connecticut should "come on down" to the Lone Star State.
PTR Industries, a maker of military-style rifles, threatened to leave Connecticut after the passage of one of the toughest gun-control laws in the United States. Connecticut enacted the measure in the wake of the Newtown school shooting that killed 20 first-graders and six adults.
"Hey, PTR," Perry posted on Twitter on Friday. "Texas is still wide open for business!! Come on down!"
The Connecticut law bans high-capacity ammunition clips of the kind used in the December school shooting and adds to the firearms covered by the state's assault-weapons ban.
A second Connecticut gun company, Stag Arms, a maker of AR-15 style rifles, is also threatening to leave the state. The companies are being wooed by officials from gun-friendlier states such as Florida and Arkansas, as well as Texas.
Texas governor to Connecticut gun maker: "Come on down"
the question is should it be missed? yes, because of the politicians in that state they are driving out a business which pay taxes to them.
a state acting as though it does not care if the people employed in it have a job or not is not a sign of good government.
Well, thats somewhat of a mystery. PTR industries appears to be quite a struggling little enterprise, having been sued for failure to pay its bills. Much of its property is also tax exempt so I doubt its much of a loss in tax revenue.
Employed for the purpose of making weapons of mass murder? I should think not.

All this hoopla over a company with 42 employees?
A lot of people just wasted their time reading this thread. LOL.
Actually the real point of the thread is the business friendliness of Texas, and here's another case of a company leaving an unfriendly state. It really could be any business, but right now it relates to gun rights.
