Beretta USA Announces Decision to Move Its Entire Maryland Manufacturing Capabilities to Tennessee

http://www.beretta.com/en-us/gallatin/#.U86085EIrnY.twitter

Sucks for my home state of Maryland ......

From the link:

"Beretta U.S.A. Corp., located in Accokeek, Maryland, announced today that it has decided to move its manufacturing capabilities from its existing location to a new production facility that it is building in Gallatin, Tennessee. The Gallatin facility is scheduled to be opened in mid-2015. Beretta U.S.A. had previously planned to use the new Gallatin, Tennessee facility for new machinery and production of new products only.
 
“During 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,” stated Jeff Cooper, General Manager for Beretta U.S.A. Corp.
 
“While 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,” Cooper added.
 
The transition of production from Beretta U.S.A.’s 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.’s 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. "

1. Well, you really can't blame Beretta for moving.

It looks like MD might make their plant illegal eventually, anyway, so they might as well make the move now and not risk an interruption in production later. I hate it for the people in MD who lost their jobs, but the political situation in MD isn't good for a gun maker.

2. at least Maryland can wash the blood off its hands...so to speak

Oh now, the blood's on the hands of illegal possessors of firearms, usually stolen; the sorts of people BainsBane & Co. don't dare criticize because they're usually members of groups for whom it's politically-incorrect to criticize.

It's how the State of MD creates jobs ... in another less stupidly governed state ... said the resident of CA ...

Just wish they had moved to S.C.. We once had a lot of 'tool and die' shops and machine shops here locally....not so now. Those fellows are still around and I'm sure they would rather be making guns than doing what they do now.

Yeah idiot, tell that to all the employees that lost their job over stupid and ineffective gun control policies.   Do you think the gangbanger in downtown Baltimore cares about a gun maker moving?

Unlike moonbat states, you have a governor that's actually, you know, out there trying to bring businesses into her state by making it as business-friendly as possible. What a concept! On FB, Nikki posts almost daily about businesses investing in, or moving to SC. From right across the river, she seems to be doing an amazing job over there.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I can tell you why they moved thru Virginia straight to Tennessee:  Gov. Terry McDUmbass!

Stop being so "greedy"  :-) You're getting Boeing - and the non-unionized version, at that. Make your airplanes and be happy.

Yeah, Boeing just received permission to expand their plant another 150 acres here in the low country.
