Gun Law Fallout

Whether you’re for or against the new gun control laws in the State of CT it is clear there will be financial fallout. Bristol CT based PTR Industries has just announced plans to relocate its operations elsewhere. Where is elsewhere? Well, they don’t know. They’re just saying anywhere but CT. That means 50 employees leaving the state (at a time when the state can’t afford the loss of 50 jobs).

Don’t believe for one minute this is the first fallout over the new laws…or the last. We know of at least two other manufacturers that haven’t expanded operations in CT in the last couple of months due to the uneasy political climate in CT. In fact, these companies are now thinking of reducing operations instead.
