Gun accessory manufacturer Magpul Industries wasn’t bluffing.

The company vowed to leave the “occupied territory” of Colorado after Gov. Hickenlooper signed anti-gun measures into law. And yesterday, Magpul announced it will relocate its corporate headquarters to Texas and manufacturing and distribution facilities to Wyoming — “states that support our culture of individual liberties and personal responsibility.”
