Robert sends us a link to the Beretta USA<\/a> website that announces that they’re moving lock, stock and barrel to Tennessee. Previously, Beretta was only moving the manufacture of some guns to Tennessee, but they changed their minds, I guess;<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the legislative session in Maryland that resulted in passage of the Firearm Safety Act of 2013, the version of the statute that passed the Maryland Senate would have prohibited Beretta U.S.A. from being able to manufacture, store or even import into the State products that we sell to customers throughout the United States and around the world. While we were able in the Maryland House of Delegates to reverse some of those obstructive provisions, the possibility that such restrictions might be reinstated in the future leaves us very worried about the wisdom of maintaining a firearm manufacturing factory in the State,\u201d stated Jeff Cooper, General Manager for Beretta U.S.A. Corp.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we had originally planned to use the Tennessee facility for new equipment and for production of new product lines only, we have decided that it is more prudent from the point of view of our future welfare to move the Maryland production lines in their entirety to the new Tennessee facility,\u201d Cooper added. <\/p>\n

The transition of production from Beretta U.S.A.\u2019s Maryland facility to the Tennessee facility will not occur until 2015 and will be managed so as not to disrupt deliveries to Beretta customers. Beretta U.S.A.\u2019s production of the U.S. Armed Forces M9 9mm pistol will continue at the Accokeek, Maryland facility until all current orders from the U.S. Armed Forces have been filled. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, Governor Marty O’Malley’s blindsiding gun owners and dealers in Maryland had consequences. Wiki<\/a> says the plant in Maryland has about 400 employees. And O’Malley has his eye on the White House or the Naval Observatory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
