Yeah, just wishful thinking I guess.

Why not TX
My roommate's father is pretty high up on the Wyoming Business Council, I might try to get in contact with him and see if they've made any efforts to invite Magpul to move North a little. That would be awesome to have the Magpul headquarters at my doorstep.
I think it is wisest if they move as far from CO as possible. If we do regain our sanity then they would have two locations to build/ship from. If they relocated to the East Coast (ie: Virginia) then they could have one plant (probably where there new HQ would be) on the east coast distributing from the Mississippi and eastward then the CO facility could supply everything on the western half. As long we can stop the full retardation of the country, I think Magpul's business will continue to grow. I know a handful of 'old school' guys who never heard of them before this drama.
Bullshit that this is even happening
They have stated they will be a multi-state operation in the future to safeguard against being vulnerable to one states politics.
I don't blame them for wanting to stick it to Colorado and take their entire production out of the state. For those families here in CO that will be in the unemployment line because of it... I'm not sure why they couldn't leave some of the production here (foregrips, sights, collapsible stocks, slings, yada yada yada) and move the magazine production to another state. That way those people here could keep their jobs and they can stand behind their "we can't make magazines in a state where we aren't allowed to sell them" promise. BUT... families be damned... I can see why they want to give the state the middle finger and make sure they never get another tax dollar from them. It is a shame... but they gotta do what they gotta do.
They stated they will keep some limited operations her in CO until the next election.
TX taxes and govt. makes the most sense to me...but I'm not the one making the decision.
I heard that Texas might be the spot where they're going.
