    How very intelligent of Baretta. Moving out of a hostile environment to a friendly one is just common sense. It should set a good example to other manufacturers to move away from areas that are hostile to them. Why pay taxes to the enemy?
    As an aside, one of my firearms is a Baretta 32 cal. semi-auto. A sweet little gun for pocket or purse.

    I know, I know. I live in Maryland. Nothing will change with so many government workers residing in the state.
    I thought of moving because of gun laws,
    Yup. Good for them!

      For some reason, Maryland doesn't like weapons as much as it did in the War of 1812.

        You can get War of 1812 license plates. It’s the proximity to DC. The closer you get to the city the more dense the population and the more likely that populace will lean Left: government workers.
        Speaking of DC, Obama has been making remarks lately that he wants to push for statehood for DC . It’s a fundraising gimmick.
        He changed his license plates for the 2012 election: “Taxation without Representation” He spoke as if he was promising statehood when he ran for office in 2008.

          Hmmm. If DC became a state, wouldn't all those politicos who own residences in DC then become residents of the state of DC rather than the state they profess to represent? I'd also include Maryland and Virginia in that scenario. So many of these people don't even live in the state they represent.

          As another thought. How about just erecting barracks for the politicos to live in. A big common room could to used to host all the lobbyists.

    hooray for tennessee! we have no income tax (there
    is a tax on substantial dividend/interest income, to be
    totally transparent);;; we have decent people and a
    respect for the constitution, some good schools and
    an occasional decent politician ... and we have some
    nice parks like the smokies! we share fort campbell
    with ky; we build cars and refrigerators and tanker trucks
    and weekends (john daniels -- remember "scent
    of a woman"?)! we have lakes and cheap power
    and lots of right-to-work jobs.

    come on down!!! -- j

    I love it when businesses speak with their pocketbooks. If only the States were unencumbered with all the Federal laws, we could see the theater of economic ideas play out in its full majesty (or disgrace) on 50 stages across the nation. Let each state test the ideals they think will work and let all take notice and adopt or reject as they see fit.

    With the current "state" of affairs, you can have a state like California that drags down the rest of us. :(

    Rocky Mountain: I love your humor...
    Why not- put the politicos in one big room together, maybe they could get something done!. Nothing like sleeping with the enemy...
