Official Magpul Facebook: Leaving CO

[Redneck_Buddha]

They posted a lengthy FB update on the matter. I am on my mobile and can't post the link, but they are sticking to their guns. (Ba-dum-bump)

"We are proud to announce that within a matter of days we will be going live with a new program. Due to a bill currently moving through the Colorado legislature, there is the possibility that Colorado residents' ability to purchase standard capacity magazines will soon be infringed. Before that happens, and Magpul is forced to leave the state in order to keep to our principles, we will be doing our best to get standard capacity PMAGs into the hands of any Colorado resident that wants them.

Verified Colorado residents will be able to purchase up to ten (10) standard capacity AR/M4 magazines directly from Magpul, and will be given immediate flat-rate $5 shipping, bypassing our current order queue.

Our customers outside of Colorado, please know that our PMAG production will continue at an ever-increasing rate until we do relocate, shipments to our distributors in other states will continue, and that we do not expect relocation to significantly impact PMAG production. We are also aware that Colorado is not the only state with existing or pending magazine capacity restrictions; we are working on programs for other affected states as well.

Full details and instructions will be announced when we are able to go live; please watch here for the coming announcement."

The cited passage doesn't say they have made a final decision to leave Colorado.

It says that they're making a major effort to help Coloradans get as many soon to be banned mags as they can on a priority basis before a law prohibiting their possession is passed.

What I got out of it was if the bill passed they would be relocating.

That's been "official" for a while as I have read it.

They have had that 10 mag program open to LE for a while and it is pretty quick.

My bad. Not sure how I extracted "they are definitely leaving" from that update.

This is kind of company I support. They realize it is not the individual LEO's that are screwing people over, so they are helping those LEO's stay prepared...

I had never heard of this program, but it's a great deal and will pass it on to my partners.

3rd paragraph. "...until we do relocate..." Sounds like that's the plan.

Moved to TX from CO last year after retiring. Lived in CO for 30 years. Really a shame what is going on up there. I wrote a letter to Gov. Perry's office suggesting that if Magpul wasn't on their radar screen maybe it should be. Got a personal answer from an assistant responsible for economic development and they intend to be in contact with Magpul. That's a great industry to have 250+/- jobs, non polluting, doesn't require a lot of energy, etc. Fits right in to the TX culture. Hope we can get them.

I wish every gun and ammo maker in this country would move to the south.

IMO, I like having various gun related businesses spread around the nation. This way, we have some support spread out and not all just in a couple states.

Now, we just have to get those businesses in these areas to speak up more than they are.
