Gunmaker Magpul finalizes departure from Colorado to protest anti-gun laws

Magpul, one of the country's largest producers of ammunition magazines for guns, is leaving Colorado and moving operations to Wyoming because of Colorado laws that include restrictions on how many cartridges a magazine can hold.

Officials at Magpul Industries unveiled Wednesday its new facilities in Texas and Wyoming, making good on a vow to leave Colorado in response to the state’s sweeping gun control legislation.

The firearms-accessories manufacturer announced that the company has finalized a contract on its corporate headquarters in Austin, Texas, after entering into a deal on the property in March. In the interim, Magpul had used a temporary facility in Texas, according to a Wednesday press release.

Meanwhile, Magpul’s manufacturing and distribution center is slated to open in January in Cheyenne.
A 50,000-square-foot addition is expected to be completed in December on the 185,000-square-foot facility.

    So Magpul is moving to the most radically leftist city in Texas? I call that jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. CH

      That's a shame with such a good name like that.

    That's right; Austin is home to that lesbian DA or what ever she/he is that was attacking
    Rick Perry. Why, Oh Why!
