Maryland thinks banning mags over 10rds, and scary rifles, is a good idea.

Beretta is in MD.

Beretta might move.

It'd be really nice to see Beretta add themselves to the Barrett, BCM, RRA et. al. list, and write off the couple hundred of pistols they sell to LAPD and other police in deference to the firearms community activism going on. They'll lose the US market through legislative attrition, otherwise.

Virginia and PA are both short drives from Accokeek. We'd love the jobs. One more nail in the coffin of awesome that is PG county.

There's also the lost business tax revenue. One less corporation to subsidize the socialist utopia.

I hope they end up in New Hampshire or Vermont, I'd love to work for them and I might need to bail on Connecticut soon.

Please, Beretta, move to a free state!
Please, please, please!

Oh and start making 92 Elite I's again- I was too poor to afford one when they were in production and had to settle for a 92.

I'm sure some in the gun community will find something to complain about though...

Yeah, like when is Beretta gonna come out with a 1911?!?!?

If all these gun companies suddenly start supporting the 2A, I'm going to have a hard time buying something from all of them

Please move to Virginia. Better yet, move somewhere just west of Manassas so I can get a job there and commute opposite of the traffic flows. :D

Don't get greedy, you already have FN.

So is this a done deal yet? Has the legislation been signed? The linked article implies it's already happened, but the sources are all from Feb and just Beretta threatening to move.

mtnbkr · « **Reply #17 on:** April 05, 2013, 03:45:44 PM »

I'd rather have it right off I66 around the area of The Plains. :D

Plenty of open space for a factory and plenty of nearby hunting for testing and development...

A birdy mentioned to me a while ago that if they did actually move, that it would be to Virginia.

I'm inclined to agree VA is the most likely place.

French G. · « **Reply #20 on:** April 06, 2013, 06:49:16 AM »

I regret selling my 92FS I bought to use as a training aid for military sidearms. I'll buy another just to get one of the first ones that doesn't say Accokeek on it.

That is what I heard also, they also hinted at in the article by saying that they already have some operations in VA.

I wish one of the major firearms manufactures would move to IA. We have a lot available buildings and site to build one. Also decent infrasture to move materials in and out. Tons of community colleges to train workers and pretty generous tax savings to attract buisiness to the state.

I don't know if they qualify as major, but your .gov ought to be aggressively courting the ones in IL.

I hope they move to Texas. I'd love to buy a Beretta made in Italy....

Well, you got Les Baer, good catch. Someone out to lobby Springfield Armory and Armalite to get out of Illicooky too.
