Posted on the OB as well but this is pretty significant:
Smith & Wesson (SWBI) to move to Tennessee
Moving 750 jobs to Maryville, TN
WSJ Article
Two big wins for TN this week. S&W and Ford both announce they are moving/opening new factories in TN.

The company will invest more than $125 million to relocate its headquarters and some operations from Springfield, Mass., where it has been based for generations, to Blount County, Tenn., near Knoxville. It will create 750 jobs in the area, according to the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development.
The lower cost of living was a factor in the move, Chief Executive Mark Smith said in a statement. He thanked Republican Gov. Bill Lee and the GOP-dominated legislature “for their unwavering support of the Second Amendment and for creating a welcoming, business-friendly environment.”

Blue states are essentially bankrupt. Hilarious to see.

Not as long as Dems control the Federal check book.

And the idiots that voted for the people that bankrupted those states will continue to vote blue.

Do they also get some sort of tax incentive to move? Seems like a good play for S&W.
Nothing worse than a Bostonian liberal

You could almost see this coming. I'm surprised it didn't happen many years ago.

Why Tennessee? Tennessee is as bad as Virginia.

In 1856, when the company was founded, that area was a bit less of a progressive shithole.

Well for starters, they began there about 170 years ago!

It was sad when S&W caved in the 1990s.

Back when these companies started, these were the industrial centers. That's where the metal manufacturers and skilled machinists were located. It does seem that these companies would have seen the writing on the wall about 50 years ago though, and got the hell out of dodge.

WTH are you talking about? TN is still conservative much unlike Louisiana.
Plus no state income tax in TN.

It actually hasn't changed at all.
They've always been like this.

I hear Smith and Wesson ads on the radio, but they never mention any products.

So once upon a time Massachusetts was known for extreme patriotism....

That's great for TN, but I can't help but think this is another thing Louisiana missed out on.
