Soldier Systems has the scoop on this one. I always wondered when it was going to happen. I’m glad t was just announce that it’s happened and won’t be a drawn out Magpulesque situation.
Haley didn’t have to relocate an entire manufacturing line, which makes it easier to pull up stakes and bail. Glad to have him in AZ, though.
Glad to see him walk the walk. Shows he’s the real deal and has principle.
Good to see this news in addition to the Magpul news.
To paraphrase the Presidents former congregation leader, the Rev Jeremiah Wright; Colorado’s chickens have come home to roost…

Glad to hear of it for AZ, but I feel for the folks in Colorado. The voters made some big recall noise and things appear to be getting back to where they should be.
**** yeah!
I was hoping that he would run for political office here in CO…
Wonder if they’ll be hiring any new staff upon arrival?
I have no idea what his annual salary is, don’t care, however; I’m glad his state taxes are now going somewhere other than Calirado.
Yeah, I feel for us too. Got not one, not two, but THREE if the idiots out of office via channels available to us & are patiently awaiting mid term elections to start setting things right. All these entities said they would remain & fight with us and now I kinda feel jipped. I mean I realize why they moved & appreciate it but I would appreciate at least a little bit of a battle first since we’re already on the right path.
Wonder if Ron Avery will follow suit with his training school? On his website he mentions a training facility in Az for some specific classes.
Well to be fair Magpul is maintaining a skeleton operation in CO so they can continue on with the fight. However as a business owner I do not blame them on bit. They are in the business of making money. If I find my company in an environment that is hostile to its core goal of putting food on my table then I will pull up stakes in a NY minute. Look at it this way, you guys got taken over by Kalifornians looking for something better, but who brought along some of their baggage, thinking they could have their cake and eat it too. Maybe they’ll learn their lesson now and come the elections things will be set back more to normal and the lesson will remain. If so then someone else can set up shop of a stable environment is achieved.
Even though they got rid of 3 of the politicians that drove the new laws…has there been any movement to get the actual laws repealed?
That is a huge problem…the politicians probably knew passing that law would end their careers but getting rid of the actual law might prove to be very hard, indeed.
So while it is great to see leftists tossed out for passing the law…the damn law remains. Sort of how we cleaned up in 2010 but Obamacare is still very much a reality and even if we clean up more in 2014…Obamacare is still with us.
They pass these laws knowing good and well they will remain after people are recalled or lose the next election cycle.
That in and of itself is a real tragedy.
In reality none of the current laws would like affect any of their sales regardless of if they were in CO or another state. They even were granted a specific exemption to continue to do business. Their reason for leaving is political (not financial) and while I agree with the move and standing up for us I kind of wish they would have stayed to help us fight another year or two. They joined the Sheriff’s law suit which I can appreciate but there are mid-term elections and then the following full elections to see what is going to happen and we need all the corporate backing we can get… especially from those sympathetic to our plight. I appreciate their standing behind what they said and have stated this numerous times across many forums and forms of social media. The only thing I disagree with is the timeline.
There was movement for a new bill to try to return the freedoms that were taken away but the gun community is a bunch of stubborn old idiots too smart for their own good who think everything is a conspiracy against them. They will use a single sentence or even word to say that it could later be used against us to take even more… meanwhile they keep taking more freedoms. At some point we need to go on the offensive and get rights back rather than just being reactive to the progressive movement which will only guarantee the complete loss of all rights eventually. Nobody wants to strike while the iron is hot though because everyone is shell shocked and paranoid. No wonder we can’t get any traction.
Also, the Dems still have the house by ONE seat. Had the 3rd recall gone though a Republican would likely have got the seat making it a Republican house by a single seat which would have given the leverage we needed to get some laws changed and some new ones on the books. Instead Hudak resigned as soon as the required signatures for a recall were vetted and now her campaign manager will take her place. Wonderful. This is why we need help at mid-terms & then again at the full election to get this state back on track. It’s primed for a recovery but if everyone who supports our freedom-loving cause bails we’re scrooged. That’s what happening and all the efforts made will be for not if we simply let them have it back in a couple of years or less.
Good. Nobody in their right mind would live in that liberal cesspool.
I guess we can add “Colorado recall” to the Travis Haley Drinking Game. Other points include “combat effective” , “engage” , “reality check” , “tac/ tactical reload”, and “dynamic”. Be prepared for one b**** of a hangover.
Oh man, Arizona just got adaptively dynamic!
In all seriousness though, I like that Arizona has so many firearms businesses, and I’d like to see even more. I’d like AZ to be the bastion of firearms freedom where everybody who’s anybody wants to operate their business out of Arizona.
People are leaving CO because they also see that once gun right are lost…it is damned near impossible to get them back.
Look at DC an Chicago. They are trying but STILL there is little real movement or return to the freedoms we enjoy in red places.
Once cities or states go blue…they rarely go back to red. That is a huge problem.

A very large part of that huge problem is the lack of ambassadorship and cultural recapture strategy in the pro gun camp.
