Gun companies which fled California

HI Ya Guys, help me out here please; I am making a list of gun companies which have fled California, for gun reasons, for tax reasons, for employee reasons, for any reasons.
I had started a list somewhere on some forum :D but I can find it.
So I am having this debate with Gov. Brown (one sided so far) about the economic impact of chasing all the gunnies out.
my list:-
Dillon
Redding
Calico
Northrop and GD. large gun operations.

please add any company you can think of that would help my argument for Gov to veto gun bills on basis of lost revenues. A subject I am sure that is close to his heart.

Your list would be much longer if you include companies other than "gun" companies.
Click to expand...
True. But the thread would be much shorter.

Moving to Gen. Disc., as this is more about economics than law.
 
Frank, thanks for that update. My 10-10 scale is from them and I think I sent it there for calibration.
other posters, see my update note above. But keep those cards and letters coming.

much obliged,

Max
 
The risk in such a list is:

a. Are the gun companies major employers and generators of business? BTW, we don't care about non-firearms companies.

If you note a trivial impact on a giant economy, you just help the other side.

b. Even with some impact, they might think that is just fine. Let's say that you have a company that produces something unpleasant (chemicals, dirty pictures or whatever). You get them to leave. So you lose that income - but it is for the better of society.
 
I agree with nothing ventured, nothing gained. But I as a worry wort, worry if the action has a negative consequence.

Rather than talking to Brown - tell the voters that jobs are lost and if you agree that this loss is bad - get out and vote.
 
as stated before, if the company of whatever commodity doesn't employ a large number of folks comparatively speaking, few politicians will care if they leave.
 
Redding was in California?

If so, I don't think they make a very good argument for your case, since they "ran" from gun unfriendly, high-taxation, high-regulation California to New York, which is probably the only place in America that might be worse than California in nearly all of those areas.
 
Sierra fled California just before the high water mark of the gun control movement ..... and went to gun friendly MO.......

they'd be the Poster Child for your arguemnt.
 
I believe a couple of "large gun companies" have left or significantly reduced their operations there, including Northrop and GD.

I believe GD moved the GAU-19 (.50 cal electric gatling gun) to GD-ATP facility in NC.

NG moved their stabilized guns / aiming systems to VA from CA.
 
Cor-Bon left Detroit for S.D. in the 90s, Detroit didn't care then and they don't care now. Cor-Bon however is far better off.
 
Gun Companies which left CA due to inhospitable climate

hi Brian, not every decision is a good one. At least for Redding; I remember hearing a speaker at a convention who as a child left Russia during the Bolshevic Revolution, for Germany, left Germany for Italy late 1930's. Left Italy headed east to China. Finally made it as a Professor of European History at Trinity in Texas. So only the last turn was good. But it all was good for the story.
I hope my missive to the Gov does as well.
 
I cant think of the names but a couple of those cheap Saturday night special gun mfg's left CA 20-30 yrs ago.

Maybe some one knows the names?


Just a suggestion, tie in that CA is losing residents (and their income and sales tax revenues) to (mostly) AZ, TX, and NV due gun laws and taxes.

Brown hates losing to TX which is also a way to tie back into that gun companies from MD, NY Conn, etc are looking at possibly moving to TX and some of the other more free states that also have lower taxes.

People leaving CA and companies not even considering CA.

TX's economy is getting ready to surpass CA's in the next 5-10 yrs.
 
Ahhhh HAAAAA !

Davis Industries!

They made cheap guns that CA labled as Saturday night special "criminal gun" by CA and they were sue out of existence.

I think there is another 1 or 2... or reincarnations of Davis under different names.

ETA: Davis, Cobra, Raven were all related
