Wonder if Barry Hussein will take credit for these 300 jobs coming to Tennessee during his visit to Nashville this Thursday?

That be the one Maryland lost. Glad to hear it. my home State has gone from a bunch of Patriots to completely Socialist, they do not deserve the benefit of the taxes Beretta will pay.

I love their quote, "we start with the possibility that we will be in that location for decades, if not hundreds of years, to come."  This coming from a company that's existed in the same place since 1526.

I wished I lived close by, I would like to work in the industry.  Good decision! 

[KaNuckles]

Yep...Happy day indeed.

I had been hearing rumors it was coming to Gallatin and now glad to hear it for sure. They said that one of the deciding factors was that once hwy 109 is completed it will give the shippers greater access to all major interstates going in all directions. I for one will be thrilled when the orange barrels are gone from 109 bu will hate to see all the semi truck traffic it will bring taking shortcuts that by pass Nashville...............jmho

I have about 8-9 years left where I work, and then I will make a career out of getting an opportunity to work for them. :up:

[Chucktshoes]

Time to update the resume!

I wonder what this might mean for TNs gun laws. Will groups like TFA receive extra funding? Will there be extra lobbying?

Kinda hard for someone to demonize guns and take credit at the same time.

Of course he will!

 

I'd like for him to specify that he helped us land 300 firearm manufacturing jobs.

 

Just like Uncle Mikey will be sending Governor Haslam his regards for liberating these jobs from Maryland. :devil:

He should. He was instrumental in chasing them this way :)

[Glock30]

I'm a Glock guy all the way, but I'd be all over a Made-in-Tennessee Beretta 9mm :)

This is great news!  Going to have to buy me a Beretta now! Does anyone know exactly what they plan to produce?

I've been thinking about buying a Beretta for a long time. I will defiantly be buying a Gallatin produced gun. Got to support jobs in my home town.
