It was announced at SHOT that Weatherby, manufacturers of high quality hunting rifles, is going to move their facility (and of course, their payroll) from California to Wyoming. There\u2019s a continuing pattern of gun industry people moving from blue states to red ones, where they are more welcome.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Jim Fitzpatrick, our correspondent at SHOT, got to hang out with cool people like Marine combat vet and firearms instructor Daniel Shaw, who\u2019s now in charge of media and such for gunmagwarehouse.com<\/a>, which offers all sorts of good useful gun stuff.<\/p>\n
