I've been thinking about starting up a firearms manufacturing business in Texas. Why not? 
There's already over 2000 firearms manufacturers in Texas.

Texas leads the nation in licensed manufacturers, with 2,022 ATF Type 07 licenses allowing weapons makers to legally build and sell firearms as of 2020—a 1,248 percent increase from 2000, where only 150 such licensed entities operated in the state. The number of licensed Texas gunmakers in 2020 was more than double that of the next-most-licensed state, Florida, which tallied 1,009 licenses.

CZ opened a plant in Arkansas not that long ago.
Nope. CZ never started construction and the property reverted back to the city of Little Rock. Amazon bought some of the land for extra parking.

Only a small percentage of these are actually gun manufacturers that build guns to sell in stores. Most of these are guys who got their FFL license because it wasn't much more expensive, or time consuming, to just getting your CC permit. This allows them to modify and build themselves whatever they want.

Makes perfect sense. Why not locate in a gun friendly state?
Can’t believe it didn’t happen much sooner for some of them.

Smith and Wesson moved to Maryville Tn. The headquarters is now finished and the manufacturing is hiring.

The South will be making all the firearms? It's happening, isn't it? The South is rising again

Good now when Texas succeed and takes its neighbors with them the majority of gun and ammo manufacturing will be in these states and not northern states.
Posted on 9/7/22 at 7:36 am to EKG
It is... uhhh... kind of important that all the gun makers are moving to the red states...

CZ opening plant in little rock
"
Arkansas currently serves as home to Nighthawk Custom and Wilson Combat while Remington has a large ammo plant in Lonoke. In 2013, Thermold Magazines announced it would shift its headquarters and manufacturing operation from North Carolina to the state. Likewise, Sig has its ammo plant in Arkansas. Walther is building pistols in Fort Smith, shipping out their first PPKs earlier this year.
Importantly, the CZ plant will be the only one located outside of the Czech Republic although the company exports to more than 90 countries. CZ-USA is currently based in Kansas City, Kansas, importing guns from Europe and distributing them to U.S. retailers. That operation currently employs 70 people.
CZ is not the first European gun maker to establish roots in pro-gun Southern states. In Georgia, Heckler & Koch is building a plant while in Alabama, Austrian-based Steyr opened first a warehouse and then a manufacturing component in Bessemer. Meanwhile, Beretta has been full speed ahead on production in their new state-of-the-art manufacturing and engineering center in Gallatin, which opened in 2016."

La is a shithole growing more liberal by the day. What corporate level individuals would want to live there vs nicer areas of TX, FL, & TN?

Well that sucks. I’m a CZ fan. Was looking forward to having them here. Of course, there’s Wilson Combat in Berryville, but I think they’ve always been there.
