Goodbye California, Hello Texas: Gun Retailer Announces Move

 

When it comes to gun laws, California is vying to have the strictest in the nation. It comes as no surprise, then, that the state is not a particularly business-friendly environment for those in the gun industry.

 And so Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s wishes are beginning to come true: Shield Tactical, a California retailer and firearms training provider, has decided to ‘get the heck out of Dodge’ — and move to Texas John W. Harrington founded Shield Tactical in 2008, but with California’s hard-line stance on gun control, he decided the state was no longer a good place for his business.

Harrington, originally from Texas, said it was finally “time to go home.” “The state of California treats all businesses as necessary evils,” he told Red Alert. “They treat those of us in the gun business as just evil. They make it very clear that they don’t want us there. It’s just that simple.”

  1. Honestly, the faster the collapse happens, the sooner we can start the rebuilding. Let's just hope we rebuild on the foundations of the constitution, and not on something far worse.

    In California, all the non coastal counties are going to petition to join Texas as, I dunno, Very Far West Texas, or something.
