This looks great for TN, but no so much for MD. I somehow doubt Gov O'Malley will regret missing this opportunity, but I'm sure Gov Haslam and all the pro-2A folks in the Volunteer state will look forward to having a pro-2A gunmaker in their own backyard.

It was even in our small local paper this morning. Good for Beretta and the 300 new jobs it will bring to Gallatin (Nashville area).

Maryland didn't deserve to have them there in the first place! Good for Beretta, and I'm sure they will be warmly welcomed in TN. Next to Colt, Beretta is my next favorite manufacturer. I prefer their Italian made pieces however.

I agree. hitting the firearms restrictive blue states in their tax bases is a great way to hammer home the point that not only the state's gun owners, but their gun manufacturers are more than tired with being dumped on constantly. Money always talks - from the Romans to the USA.

Now, if only I could avoid having to buy cheap Chinese products I'd be on the road to being a happy camper (consumer).

I totally agree, Beretta makes a fine firearm. I'm quite sure Tennessee will welcome them. They may be volunteers, but they sure know how to make a body feel at home. We vacation in the Smokey Mountains on a regular basis, now I will have another sight to see.

Great news to hear Beretta has some sense to locate in a gun friendly State! I have been thru Gallatin, Tenn a number of time and very nice town to locate to!! Congratulations Tennessee!!!!!!

I am glad that I moved to Tennessee, we could not be happier. A gun friendly State for sure. We welcome Beretta and hope more gun companies will follow.
