Bring Magpul Industries to Indiana

[NomadS]

Let's make an effort to bring Magpul Industries to Indiana.

Post ideas and statistics we can use to encourage them to come here.

For example:

1. Indiana is one of only 13 states that have a AAA credit rating .. a sound government is less likely to raise taxes

Slideshow: 13 states with AAA credit ratings - Dayton Business Journal

Database: S&P ratings for all 50 states - Dayton Business Journal​

2. Indiana is consistently ranked in the top 10 states for business

Also post any letters or emails you send to Magpul, or to Gov. Pence, or to your Mayor.

And finally just post a note that shows them what it means to be a Hoosier and what it would mean to you to have them move to Indiana.


AND PLEASE vote in the poll and encourage every other 28,000+ INGO members to vote as well.

No. I want the CO laws defeated. Winning Magpul means another State succumbs to Mordor. That would not be a good thing.

And I think we should be able to buy am M16 at ACE without a background check.

Colorado is making law that is hostile to gun owners and the 2nd amendment. A business that exists to supply gun owners with a product should not continue to give tax money to such a government. We cannot change Colorado law but we can encourage others to vote with the feet and move to areas, like Indiana, with pro 2nd amendment values.

i thought they already said they wanted to move to georgia or tennessee area?

 

[NomadS]

Magpul key supplier Alfred Manufacturing: Stamping, Molding, Machining and More should be encouraged to move here as well.

Magpul's departure could crack plastics industry, manufacturer says - The Denver Post

 

[NomadS]

Maybe.. but have they moved yet? No. So we still have time to give them a reason to move here. So let's get busy.

 

[Faine]

Indy has major shipping hubs/distribution centers for FedEx and UPS and is on major highways bisecting America. Just little bits to add to the incentive.

 

[Signal23]

They put a full page ad in the paper in Denver to stir the pot.

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

Plenty of small manufacturing / parts suppliers in the Kokomo, Peru, Logansport area. Lots of skilled labor and 2nd Amendment believers.

Same for the Elkhart, Nappanee, Goshen area. If they move there, PMags could be built with Amish labor. How cool would that be?

 

[Shelly1582]

There's an empty Plastics factory here in Madison county I'm sure they could get cheap!

 

[Rocdenindy]

I e-mailed Gov Pence, Rep. Carson, and Sen. Donnelly about pursuing companies in states that are passing extreme gun control measures.

 

[84VETTE]

I'm about to graduate with a mechanical engineering technology degree and Magpul would would be an awesome place to start a career. I'm all for them moving to Indiana.

 

[HICKMAN]

why are we posting polls?

I've been blowing up Pence office for 2 weeks to go recruit any and ALL gun makers and related companies.

Email I just sent to my 9th Dist Congressman, Todd Young:

Dear Congressman Young, you may or may not have heard that the state of Colorado is in the process of passing a ban on high capacity ammunition magazines. Magpul industries (Magpul | Unfair Advantage) -- the premier manufacturer of these magazines for both civilian and military use -- is located in Colorado and,as this bill would obviously harm their customer base, they have promised to leave the state of Colorado, and are reportedly already scouting locations in Wyoming and Montana, and there are rumors about Tennessee and Georgia as well.

Magpul currently employs 200 people directly and their supply chain is responsible for another 400 jobs, and nearly $85 million dollars into the Colorado economy. They are a universally respected company. As a former member of the service you may even be familiar with their products yourself.

These reason I'm writing is, many of us Magpul customers and 2nd Amendment supporters believe that Magpul is an idea candidate to come to Indiana. I don't have to tell you about the business friendly climate that Indiana and specifically our 9th district has to offer. But we could really use your help in creating an aggressive push to bring this growing company to our state. States like Texas and their Governor Perry are working hard to attract these kind of businesses from states that are working against them. We need the power of your office, and that of Governor Pence to put Indiana aggressively into this competition for business. We have as much to offer as anyone but we need to sell ourselves as boldly as other states are doing. I believe you can greatly help in this effort by contacting the company directly and letting them know what Indiana and our district has to offer.

With the economy the way it is today and new jobs a scarce commodity, we cannot pass up any opportunity to attract business to our state. Magpul is already a successful company and they are trying to expand to meet an overwhelming demand for their products. But it looks like they need a new home to grow their company in, and there is no better place for that than Indiana. You have a much louder voice than the average Hoosier, I on the the behalf of many others, would like to ask you to please use it to bring this great company to Indiana. Magpul can only help our economy for many years to come.

Thank you,

 

[Snavelybob]

Bring magpul to Muncie Indiana.. To be more specific!!!! Lol

 

[cobber]

To the governor

...

I am writing to encourage your administration to promote policies to benefit the economy of the State, by encouraging industries dislocated from other States to move to Indiana.

Specifically I am addressing the matter of Magpul Industries of Erie, Colorado, which had indicated it will leave that state should the legislature ban 30 round semi-automatic rifle magazines. If the legislators of Colorado believe these are dangerous products, they should be encouraging Magpul to leave.

Indiana can facilitate this process by offering incentives and abatements to attract this company, which plays an important part not only in the civilian market, but is also a major supplier to the military and law enforcement.

There is too much nonsense abroad about guns, and too little examination of responsibility, character, and the decay of the American family. That is a big matter, and won't be solved overnight.

In the meantime, Indiana should take this opportunity to present itself as a gun-industry friendly State, to the benefit of Hoosiers, and the nation at large.

Sincerely,

(cobber)

Email mapgul about this and send them this link.
