WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – A firearms manufacturer in New York, partially blaming the state’s new gun control law, said Wednesday it’s moving its corporate offices — and its plans for expansion — to Pennsylvania.
Kahr Firearms Group of Pearl River is the first gunmaker to announce it’s leaving because of the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, which was put into law after closed-door negotiations in January. It was the first law in the nation prompted by the killing of 20 first-graders and six educators in Newtown, Conn., in December.
‘‘We’re looking for a more friendly environment for our business,’’ said Frank Harris, Kahr’s vice president for sales and marketing. ‘‘Maybe we could have stayed here and built a plant, but the way the bill was passed left us feeling there were a lot of uncertainties going forward.’’

Thank you for standing up for the Constitution. May God bless your company.
Amen! Beretta needs to.do.the same in Maryland
Great Job. Maybe Baretta will do that now.
Good for Kahr. Maybe these MD manufacturers will take note, put on their big boy pants, and get out of this state.
I'm not buying any more of their firearms until they do.

Looks like LWRC is staying put. I was hoping they would jump over the state line to Delaware or V.A.
Good riddance to these liberal retards ru(I)nning New York.
