Just so we are on the same page, I was trying to say the same thing to ShepherdTX...I'm just not as eloquent.The Annoyed Man wrote:It took over a year of planning to get my former company moved to Texas from California, and that was AFTER we had arrived at the decision to move. It's a lot harder than you think, particularly if there is heavy production equipement involved. You need to arrange rigging crews to take down the equipment and put it on 60' flatbeds. You have to pack up everything else. You have to arrange to outsource your production until you can get your own equipment set up. Then you have to have a rigging crew hired at the other end to offload the equipment and place it on the production floor where it is going to go. You have to bring in electrical contractors to bring 240 volt lines to those machines, etc., etc., etc., and on and on and on. It is a HUGE effort, and it takes weeks to get your production back online once you shut down your production in the old plant.K.Mooneyham wrote:Why do you say that? I highly doubt any company is going to be able to just pack up and move in a few days. Doesn't mean that there aren't any companies going to move in the near future once they've crunched the numbers, run it by the shareholders, scouted locations, done up a plan for a move, etc.ShepherdTX wrote:Here's an update that I saw pop up in my news feed. The Colorado House just passed the magazine limit 34-31, with three Democrats voting no (update is at bottom of link).

I fired off a feedback on the Texas Governors page to see if he might consider courting Magpul to come to Texas if this becomes law. I figured Perry might be interested since he didn't have much recent luck with getting any companies from California to move. A gun friendly company who is actively looking to relocate 600 jobs and $85 million in business would be a huge win for our state.
Patience, Grasshopper.
