Kahr Arms is moving out of NY…
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – A firearms manufacturer in New York, partially blaming the state’s new gun control law, said Wednesday it’s moving its corporate offices — and its plans for expansion — to Pennsylvania.
Kahr Firearms Group of Pearl River is the first gunmaker to announce it’s leaving because of the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, which was put into law after closed-door negotiations in January.

“It was the first law in the nation prompted by the killing of 20 first-graders and six educators in Newtown, Conn., in December.” And as useless to stop another Newtown as the ones already in place that day.
Good for Kahr. I hope every gun maker in states full of stupid people vote with their feet. And that it hurts.
