Good news. I was beginning to wonder if they were going to stand by what they had promised.


The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Good for Magpul.

Unfortunately it will mean nothing to Colorado, not with these lines to buy marijuana.

One screwed up state

"At the same time, the company plans to maintain a toehold in Colorado in order to continue to fight the gun bills passed by the Democratic-dominated state legislature and signed in March by Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper."

Let me translate that statement for you.

Some of the execs caved to their wives, who really wear the pants in their families, and will not be moving, but expect all their underlings to do so.

Trouble is that most of these idiots live along I25 in the cities and are so thick that the normal people have very little power to do things like they should be done.

The recent recalls will help but like our whole country, the damage has been done.

There are a lot of top executives who live in resort areas like Aspen, Vail, and Sun Valley and run their companies by phone and computer. They have their multi-million $ homes and it really doesn't matter where they're located.

Probably a bit rough for some of the employees that might be leaving an area that they are personally deeply tied to. That said, good to see the company follow through.

Kudos to Magpul, as much or more for keeping their word, as moving out of Colorado.

My vote was always WY, an easy choice not far away.
