There are a bunch of companies in Illinois that need to move.  Can't imagine why anyone would want to live in Illinois.

“I’ve had CEOs in New England tell me that the offers from states’ economic development teams are so extraordinary that they could essentially move their factories for free,” said Keane. “In some cases they’ve received these offers almost daily over extended periods of time.”

This is what smart state governments are doing. Not just with gun manufacturing but with all manufacturing. The only thing that will fix economic problems is money; jobs is money.

In Tennessee it appears to me that many times when someone wants to build here; residents in the area start fighting it (legal action, etc). Seems everyone wants the business here; as long as its not in their area.

Why would they leave Illinois? The Illinois Supreme Court just ruled that the 2nd amendment protects the right to carry a gun outside the home. Illinois could be a constitutional carry state before Tennessee. Tennessee has that legislation on the table right now, but I’m told by members here it can’t pass.

Unless of course you mean the weather.

It's a combination of liberal northern gangster politics, the inability to own black rifles and the necessity for a firearms ownership ID card (FOID), an extortion level tax rate, and the Chicago Bears.
