Weatherby moves to Wyoming

CHEYENNE, Wyo.
Firearms manufacturer Weatherby Inc. is relocating its manufacturing operations and corporate headquarters from California to Wyoming, marking another catch by Wyoming of a company abandoning a state that isn't as gun friendly.
Weatherby's move to Sheridan is expected to create 70 to 90 jobs and more than $5 million in annual payroll over the next five years.
Company and state officials, including Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead, announced the move Tuesday at a gun industry trade show in Las Vegas.
"We wanted a place where we could retain a great workforce, and where our employees could live an outdoor lifestyle," Adam Weatherby, chief executive officer of the company, said in a statement. "We wanted to move to a state where we can grow into our brand. Wyoming means new opportunities. We are not interested in maintaining; we are growing."

Wise move on Weatherby's part! Glad to see them abandoning Ca. where they aren't appreciated anyway.

Re: Weatherby moves to Wyoming
I would hope any company that has anything to do with the firearms industry would leave California.

Re: Weatherby moves to Wyoming
Good for Weatherby, California is unfriendly in so many ways. I just sold a gun online here in Oregon,
my gun store had to wait to get permission from California before he could send it to a gun store in
California. Slowed things up by several days. What a mess anti gun states are becoming. I'd move to
Wyoming if I were younger and looking for a place to relocate. Have a friend who retired there, up in
the mountains. When he asked the county sheriff deputy if his carry permit was recognized in Wyoming
he told him everyone in Wyoming carries.

Good move for them. I hope that if Kali employees move to Wyoming that they don't bring Kali with them.

Re: Weatherby moves to Wyoming
This is great news. Love to see employers abandon repressive states -- and relocate to states where liberty remains important -- like when Magpul said sayonara to Kolorado.

Excellent. Would have preferred Fremont County, but hey... Cali's loss.

Good for Weatherby. Money lost is one of the few things to which Governments, State or Federal, pay attention.
