Fort Fairfield Could be Home to Relocated Gun Businesses Gun manufacturers, dealers shunning anti-gun states, seeking gun-friendly locations By: David Deschesne Fort Fairfield Journal, March 6, 2013 FORT FAIRFIELD, Maine—With nearly one hundred gun manufacturers and dealers across the country refusing to sell to the governments and police departments in states that restrict firearms ownership to their citizens, Fort Fairfield is in an excellent position to attract those businesses to set up shop in town. As a whole, Maine is a gun -friendly state, has a gun-friendly governor and the local government and police department in Fort Fairfield is also amenable to firearms ownership by the general public.“The establishment of any significant manufacturing company would be a tremendous boost to Main Street and the community. A gun manufacturer would add well paid specialists and managers benefiting our businesses, schools and the tax base. It is a great idea, and the time is right to hustle,” said Phil Christensen, chair of the Fort Fairfield Quality of Place Council. “I will invite our team to explore the idea.

So, those anti-gun state governments will not only be unable to buy firearms for their police from those companies, but will lose the tax revenue those companies contributed to their states to begin with. Beretta, a nearly 500-year-old Italian gun manufacturing company is threatening to move their Maryland manufacturing plant – along with roughly 400 jobs – as Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley pushes one of the most ambitious gun-control agendas in the country. At least one other company in the United States is also considering such a move. The Colorado company Magpul, which makes high-capacity magazines and add-ons for semi-automatic rifles, took out a newspaper ad stating it would leave should the state pass a ban on such magazines and guns.
