ILION, N.Y. (WKTV) -There are now five states that are actively trying to lure Ilion gun-maker Remington Arms to their communities.
The southern and western states, including South Carolina and Arizona, boast more business-friendly environments and firearm-friendly laws.
Economic development leaders in Herkimer County are reaching out to Remington officials to ask what it will take for the company to shun these aggressive pursuits and remain in Ilion.
"We're asking to say, 'listen, can we come in? Can we bring in our economic team? Can we bring in some officials who we know are going to be behind you, supporting what you need?' and at this point even all that's on hold," says Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency Executive Director Mark Feane.
That absence of dialogue is unsettling for Feane.

Please Bobby Jindal, bring the gun industry to Louisiana. Please please please.

Good for them. I really hope Bama comes to their senses and puts together an economic package for gun and ammo manufacturers that would help entice them to bring their businesses to Alabama.

Feane and Ilion Mayor John Stephens doubt there could be a "Plan B" to replace Remington Arms-and $50 million in annual economic impact to Herkimer County.
Duh. Your idiot governor just royaly screwed them with his stupid gun control nonsense why would they stay?

Wow! If the gun makers can start a competition amongst various states/towns to lure their businesses there, the gun makers might get a real economic windfall.

A girl I went to school with is the media director for local congressman. I just facebook'd her to have him check in to bringing them to God's country.
