I might be slightly behind here, but why just Remington? There are a bunch of gun manufacturers there?!?

It's probably the most readily identifiable, even to non-gun types across the country. It would be a major symbolic slap at anti-gunners everywhere.

Besides, Victor Kiam, the guy who bought the Remington electric shaver division was from New Orleans, so there's already a precedent, of sorts.

99% of Remington moved to NC a few years ago.

Guys,
As you may know, New York is passing probably the most restrictive laws on guns in the nation. The Mohawk valley is home to many gun manufacturers. Lets email the Governor and get some gun manufacturing jobs here in Louisiana by letting them know that WE welcome them here in Louisiana. Please spread the word on other LOUISIANA forums and email Remington as well.

Lets form a list of Gun manufacturers in New York and email them all. I will update or Mods can as well if I'm too slow.

New York Gun Manufacturers:

Remington Arms
Kimber Arms
Just right carbines Canandaigua NY
Gov. Jindal: http://www.gov.la.gov/index.cfm?md=form&tmp=email_governor

Remington's corporate email: info@remington.com

My letter to remington:
Gentlemen,
I would like to cordially invite you to move your production plant to the great state of Louisiana! Our Governor, Bobby Jindal, is currently working on eliminating corporate and state income taxes. Skilled labor is plentiful and Louisiana is a right to work state. You may also be aware that we recently passed the strongest pro gun legislation in the nation. Your company will be respected and welcome here. Plus we have the most to do of any state in the union! We are the sportsman's paradise!

Best Regards,
"dixiejarhead"

Yet there is still a plant there with 1000 employees.. Let's get it.

Remington is the largest one, I am still trying to ID other manufacturers in NY to contact in my spare time.

What exactly are the details on the new NY laws? I've seen conflicting "facts" about it.
ie: one source says 7 rnd mags, another says 10, etc etc.
thanks.

We should get the LSA behind this and make an official recommendation to the Governor.

Write it up and I can see they get it. The LSA's Executive Committee President happens to sign my paycheck.

Email sent to Remington
Email sent to Jindal (which by reading the thread will be forwarded to the appropriate person)

Great idea and please continue to update the OP with any other companies in similar situations that we could email.
