On Wednesday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced a firearms manufacturer will leave the state of Virginia over new “anti-gun legislation” and relocate to Georgia, bringing a $22 million investment and employing hundreds of residents. …
“This relocation was not something we originally planned to pursue. The reality is that recent anti-gun legislation in Virginia created a significant uncertainty for our company and ultimately forced us to look for a state where we could continue operating, investing, and growing with confidence,” Travis Rideout, co-founder of Rideout Arsenal, said. “We are excited to bring new jobs and manufacturing investment to Thomas County and are grateful for the warm welcome we have already received.”
The Rideout Arsenal, producer of the Dragon pistol, listed its business address as Spotsylvania County, according to FFLs.com, although the FFLs website notes the Federal Firearms License is out of date. Recent posts on the its Instagram page note that the company’s moving day is in about three weeks. — JAB
