As Maryland contemplates passing one of the nation's strictest gun laws, at least seven other states have courted its gun manufacturers, offering tax incentives and open arms elsewhere.
The governor of Texas, West Virginia's House speaker and an Illinois congressman have written to Beretta USA officials, inviting a move and promising a better business climate if the 400-year-old Italian company chooses to abandon its U.S. headquarters on the Potomac.
Another arms manufacturer and defense contractor on the Eastern Shore, LWRC International, received offers, some including tax incentives, from elected or government officials in Nebraska, Mississippi, North Dakota, Nevada, Texas and West Virginia, a company executive said.

propaganda from the left.....The koch brothers spend millions to help people, not to put it into the hands of bureaucrats, which is where a lot of health care money ends up..........
leaders in maryland are so short sighted, clueless and liberal that we will lose these businesses.
A better gun and business climate in Illinois? Lol.
Richard Brenstein has aready annouced in LWRC's Testomony Opposing SB281, read during the bill's Pubic Hearings, that LWRC, MaTech, and seveal of his other businesses located on the Eastern Shore (Salisbury) would have no other choice than to leave Maryland if SB281 was passed. The Brenstein's have created more than 3,000 jobs in the Salisbury area including Lorch Microwave and K&L Microwave, BAI Aersystems, and Salisbury Pewter. It's a damn shame that the State of Maryland has chosen to run such businesses out of the State.
4:04 is right on the money. I will also add that these are some of the better jobs on the Eastern shore.
O'Malley doesn't care about the Eastern Shore businesses! And him losing 3000 jobs? Well, he's done that many times over, and is still going!
He really, really doesn't care.
This is all based upon the "feel good" Liberal/Progressive mind-set.
Total B.S.
