The following article, Gun-Maker Flees New York Over Anti-Gun Laws and Taxes, Moves to Alabama, was first published on Freedom Outpost.

Gun maker Kimber Arms is abandoning New York, and bringing its nearly 400 jobs to Troy, Alabama, according to reports.

Kimber was founded in Yonkers, New York, and two years ago the company began to look for someplace else other than New York. Now, they are abandoning New York entirely because the state is so anti-gun, anti-business, and anti-constitution.

The company said Troy was chosen for its proximity to engineering schools and the pro-gun, pro-business support of the city and the state of Alabama.

Now the company is looking for as many as 366 new employees from Alabama to man its new 225,000 square-foot manufacturing plant.

Here is the company’s announcement:

Kimber Mfg., is pleased to name Troy, Alabama, as its official corporate headquarters and to announce it is hiring aggressively in all departments. After a carefully planned shift of leadership, R&D and manufacturing resources, Kimber has made substantial progress in the transition to its new, state-of-the-art headquarters in Troy, Alabama. The final step in completing this new facility is adding staff across all departments.

Kimber’s new headquarters is situated on 80+ acres with more than 225,000 square-feet of space and is now home to industry-leading design engineering, product management and manufacturing capabilities. After an exhaustive search, Troy was chosen for a multitude of reasons including its proximity to top-tier engineering schools as well as gun- and business-friendly support from the city of Troy and the great state of Alabama. Kimber’s Alabama expansion is well ahead of schedule, having filled hundreds of its planned Troy-based positions. Kimber is seeking qualified applicants across multiple positions and business areas including CNC technicians, machinists, quality control specialists, lean technicians, design engineers, compliance analysts, customer service representatives, materials planners, maintenance technicians, finishing operators, and assembly technicians.

“Kimber is a great place to work, especially if you love firearms,” said Pedi Gega, director of assembly and product finishing. “We have two indoor gun ranges, one outdoor range, a state-of-the-art design and prototype fabrication center, and a dynamic team of professionals who pride themselves in producing firearms with unmatched attention to detail, design and performance. Every Kimber firearm is created with a unique blend of advanced precision technology and authentic human craftsmanship.” Interested applicants are encouraged to apply at https://www.kimberamerica.com/careers.
