Makes me proud that my last two firearms purchases have been Smith's. But you guys know, I'm a recovering Smith&Wesson snob!

Good to see the PC crowd shooting themselves in the foot, or would you say "open mouth and insert both feet"?

I have owned 2 S&W pistols and I am glad to see the company standing up to this anti-gun agenda ! Maybe I'll throw some money there way this year
"This is not a world in which one can turn the other cheek. Doing so does not avoid violence, but rather encourages it. The bad guys threaten, but they do not seem to want to get hurt. They should be taught that their presumed victim is more dangerous than they are. This is not a matter of weapons, but of will."

The list of vendors backing out of this show is still growing, according to the local news. This show has been getting very expensive for visitors and vendors. I haven't been to it in about 5 years. I was planning to go this year despite the $14 admission and $8 to park, I think I will just drive to Cabela's in Hamburg instead.

I am proud of these vendors telling the show to pack it. When enough us us let the people opposing guns know how our strength in numbers impacts their business plans they will stop the BS and come back to the right side of the fence.

As much as I do not want to see manufacturing jobs leave my state, I think it might be a good idea for some of the gun manufacturers here to at least make that "threat" to NYS. Kimber, Bushmaster, and Remington (and perhaps more) have manufacturing facilities in NYS, and they can have a very powerful impact. When NYS was pushing hard for micro-stamping, Remington flat out said that they would leave NYS and lay off over 1000 people if the state passed a micro-stamping law. That proposed law was then quickly killed.
Funny that some of the very firearms that we can no longer buy here in NYS, are made here in NYS! I wonder why NYS govt didn't ban their manufacture here? Hmmm....NRA Life Member

Let them
know. Kimber, Colt, Kahr, S/A, Berretta, any of them located in non-free states. Let them know how many of their pistols are in your family and if they stay in those states, it will impact your future purchases.

The cost of moving - huge I am sure. How does it compare to losing our business and what about, in this economy, the consessions they will be given by states they move to?

Good move on S&W's part in my opinion.
