Years ago I was out in Reno, NV., at a gun store checking out their products. I talked to a guy who lived in California and ran a sheet metal business. The guy had two shops in two cities in California. He told me that he made a lot of money, supposedly he was a multi-millionaire, in his trade BUT that he was closing down both of them because he was moving to Nevada to get away from the anti-gun socialists in California. According to this guy, California was losing decent paying jobs, professional and trade jobs, at a higher rate than they were being replaced with new ones. His theory was that in about 10 to 15 years California would be hurting for good jobs because more and more companies are starting to avoid the state because of too many regulations, anti-gun stupidity and excessive taxes. He felt bad because when he shut down his two shops, there were going to be about 70 people out of jobs caused by the politicians in California.
