Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper signed landmark new gun laws on Wednesday expanding background checks on gun purchases and limiting the size of ammunition magazines, placing the traditionally firearm-friendly state among the handful to pass new restrictions in the wake of the shooting in Newtown, Conn.
“This didn’t come from the White House,” Hickenlooper said.
Vice President Joe Biden personally lobbied lawmakers to get enough votes to get the bills through the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives in February. The measures backed by state Democrats cleared the state Senate on March 12.
I was having dinner with a coworker tonight that lives in Denver. He said that everyone he know in the CO gun circles say that magpul is moving to TX, he just doesn't know where
Nah, Houston's where it's at (or should be). We've got the airports and warehouses too, plus a huge deepwater port (busiest port in the US for foreign tonnage, 2nd in overall tonnage) and a massive freight rail system to/from the ship channel.DFW baby, bring it. Plenty of warehouse space in North Texas and easy access to airports.

So, nyah!

Depends how you measure it: number of ships, TEU's, gross tonnage, traffic volume, etc. In fact, according to this, Houston ranks #6 worldwide in total tonnage. The difference in many cases when comparing ports is the cargo type, and a lot of traffic in and out of the Houston Ship Channel is petrochemical cargo.I beg to differ.

Too many liberals.
They will move to Waco for the cheaper land and conservative attitude, if not then I call it going Ft. Worth.
Magpul doesn't have to travel far to get to DFW. They said after the move they will be located over several locations (I thought states). And North Texas keeps them close to CO if they aren't going too far out of the border.
I'm from South Texas (Corpus). And when we made the decision to come back to Texas after my husband came off active duty, we were pretty certain we wanted to stay central or north for the job ops he was looking for. We specifically vetoed Houston. I always thought the drivers were too crazy
Well, yeah, there's that...[...] We specifically vetoed Houston. I always thought the drivers were too crazy

How 'bout them Cowboys?
I will be surprised if a bunch of folks who live above 6000 feet, enjoy the cold, & love the mountains relocate to Texas. Wyoming seems a much more likely location. I know if that was my lifestyle it would be laughable to even suggest. But I am sure there are some who are tired of it too.
They have stated they are going to relocate to several states, so I guess Texas has a chance. Business RELOs like this are often guided by incentive packages, Texas has been a strong leader in that area.
My vote is for Texas and Wyoming.
