It is <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2013\/08\/beretta-reported-to-be-looking-at.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also being considered by Beretta <\/a>who was reported to have scouted a central Georgia location earlier this year. Now it appears that Georgia officials are working hard to convince Remington Arms to relocate from Ilion, New York to their state.<\/p>\n<p>State Sen. Burt Jone (R-Jackson) discussed this in a Q&amp;A session with the Butts County Partners for Smart Growth this past week. Butts County is midway between Atlanta and Macon along Interstate 75.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Jones, R-Jackson, said that while Beretta has narrowed its focus to two Georgia locations \u2014 not in Butts County \u2014 the Remington Arms Company is considering relocating from New York, where its Ilion Firearms Plant and Custom Shop is located. He said state officials are working to try to bring the plant to Georgia and he\u2019s hoping to land it in his district, possibly his home county.<\/p>\n<p>Jones discussed the possibility during a question-and-answer session after his remarks Thursday to the group Partners for Smart Growth.<\/p>\n<p>Remington, he said, \u201cis looking to leave New York due to taxes, due to the unions, due to all the factors that run businesses away from your community, and they have zeroed in on the state of Georgia as being one of the states that they\u2019re considering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said he is working to get Butts County and District 25 on a list of \u201cpotential landing spots\u201d for Remington.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt could mean literally thousands of jobs for a community, wherever it might land,\u201d Jones said.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It may only be wishful thinking on the part of the state of Georgia and Sen. Jones that Remington would leave New York. However, it is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gunpoliticsny.com\/?p=9398\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a fact that the NY SAFE Act has cost that state jobs<\/a>. American Tactical and Kahr Arms are relocating out of state and others have decided any expansions will be made in outside of New York.<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE: <\/b>Tom at <a href=\"http:\/\/fillyerhands.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fill Yer Hands<\/a> reminded me that Heckler &amp; Koch has operations down in Columbus, Georgia. <\/p>\n<p>\nH\/T <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oldgrouch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tim Glance<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia is home to both Glock and Daniel Defense.
