Colorado HB 1224 would essentially put em out of business in that state.

Wouldn't mind em relocating here

I've often wondered why firearms mfg's, gun magazine publishers, and well, anything gun related stay located in anti-gun states...

Sad to have to think about Colorado possibly being an anti-gun state...hope sanity prevails.

Where is the business located within Colorado? Maybe they could claim to be on original Texas land. . . a stepping stone to getting our property back??? :mrgreen:

we sold that mostly barren land to the US gov. to pay off debts and retain some sovereignty. I don't think we want to trade back. ;-)

I know. . . but I work with a bunch of folks in Boulder, so that picture is usually on my desktop background when I do a screen share presentation! (Just to remind them of their heritage.)

I've told them anybody living in that section of land has a moral obligation to learn Texas history.

...be careful about such statements as there are a few folk south of the border (and a few within...) that would lay the same claim based on a bit earlier past...

They should setup in Cheyenne right across the border and open a drive-thru that sells jumbo drinks, sno-cones and PMags. Or move to Texas. ;-)

MAGPUL....Remember the Alamo and God Bless Texas.

I think there is a place in Wichita Falls that would make a great MAGPUL factory!

I know it'll probably be disregarded, but I just got done emailing Magpul and asked them to consider moving on down. I told them that it would be a shame to lose such a good manufacturer. I said that they should contact Governor Perry, and he could probably get some kind of a tax-break deal worked out for them if they relocated. Hey, maybe if enough people contact them, who knows what could happen? We can keep our fingers crossed, anyway. :lol:
