Beretta USA building new facility in Sumner Co.

[DMark]

For some odd reason I had the urge to shoot my Ernest Langdon prepped Beretta Elite during this month's IDPA match at the Gallatin Gun Club.

 

 

Maybe it was a foreshadowing of the future....., a hint and a clue of what was about to happen.

 

WOW!  :dropjaw:    

[Pat]

Wow! That is fantastic. Anything that gives more jobs to people of Tennessee is great, but especially the firearms industry.

 

That reminds me though - whatever happened to Remington moving here?

So, I wonder how many TGO members will end up being amongst the 300?

[nightrunner]

I will apply when jobs open up provided pay is competitive which i dont doubt at all

[macville]

I love how Haslam is touting that he helped get them to open up here, yet he doesn't want any of us law abiding citizens to be able to carry their products in all parks in TN...

[DMark]

From the press release......

 

“From the moment when we started to consider a location outside of the State of Maryland for our manufacturing expansion, Governor Haslam and his economic development team did an excellent job demonstrating the benefits of doing business in Tennessee. We are convinced we could find no better place than Tennessee to establish our new manufacturing enterprise. We look forward to building operations here and being part of your community for many years to come,” said Franco Gussalli Beretta, executive vice-president and a director of Beretta U.S.A. Corp.

 

Now if we can just get the Low Information Voters in Conn & Mass to continue to do what they do - - - Maybe we'll have Colt and S&W here very soon!  :pleased:

[Hershmeister]

The irony is Barry will take credit for the 300 jobs in TN while there will be an equal offset of 300 in MD for a net change of zero! Belissimo!

[NoBanStan]

Wonder if they'll stick it over by the GAP SDC.

 

I'd like to work in the industry but I'm not a huge Beretta fan and I had enough years in Gallatin to know that I don't want to return.

[Guest tangojuliet]

well im a machinist :D so im pretty sure i can swing a job there 

[mk19]

Awesome, it would be a dream job, working for a gun manufacturer.

[Joe357]

Resume updated and ready to work close to home :)

 Heck, yeah, go for it. I was a machinist in Lebanon for 15 yrs. Trouble is, my birthday &

 dirt is the same, so I'm out of the running, LOL

 Would be nice tho........

Franco Beretta says he was also impressed with Oak Ridge National Labs and hopes to partner in some research and development work.

 
 
A nuclear powered assault rifle. The press is going to love this.

[reed1285]

Awesome news

[Erik88]

This is fantastic news.

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

 

Well in a way he is responsible for those jobs in Tennessee, also for the lost jobs in Maryland. He and his socialist cronies at a state level for putting unconstitutional restrictions on their customers. Too bad for those lost jobs in Maryland, I have a hunch that those employees are not Obama supporters nor supporters of the socialist state reps and senators who passed the legislation costing their jobs. I bet quite a few move here with their jobs since they probably have invested alot in their employment.

[Hotrod]

Great news.....

Who's going to join me with a sign on the motorcade route? Mine will say:

Welcome Beretta, bye bye Baracky Edited January 30, 2014 by Mark A

a question for those of you who say you aren't Beretta fans.....Why Not?

 

Beretta makes nothing but high quality firearms. They have done so longer than anyone else. They have a very extensive line of rifles, shotguns, and handguns; something for just about everyone. Have you ever held one of their fine side by sides?

 

If you like guns, I don't see how you cannot be a fan of Beretta.

[gregintenn]

Now it makes sense why we are about to start a road improvement project for Airport road. I've also heard rumors of the airport expanding. :up:

[Troutburger]

That's great news, and I will be buying a tn made beretta!

[Dustbuster]

I just gave my 1301 a big hug, next time i lose a mid rail bead it'll only take a week to come in! versus 2 weeks from Italy !! more companies should act like Beretta! :woohoo: like someone said, obama is the best gun salesman in the world!

I was wondering the exact same thing.
