80% Arms Leaving California

https://www.80percentarms.com/blog/8...ving-to-texas/

Slightly old news (June 30)

"Due to the increasingly hostile climate towards the firearms industry in California, we have decided to leave our home state for Fort Worth, Texas. Until the California legislature recognizes the harm they are doing to the individual freedoms of the average taxpayer, we don't believe we would be serving the best interests of our customers and stakeholders by remaining in the state."

"Additionally, with the passing of AB 1594 in California, Governor Newsom's regime has unleashed the public's ability to have free reign over filing any and as many frivolous lawsuits against manufacturers like ourselves in the gun industry. That is not something we can abide by nor is it something we'd be able to weather."

Good for them. Sometime you have to vote with your feet.

I've bought plenty of stuff through them, but their business practices leave a bit to be desired. I'm surprised they'd invest enough to move with the 80% stuff coming down the pipeline next month

They can continue to sell kits, they just have to be serialized and sold through an FFL.

That will obviously eliminate the foil hat crowd. I wonder if there are enough 'build your own' enthusiasts to keep them in business, when you can buy a finished, serialized 1911 frame for around $250 and AR lowers for less than that.
