Default Future of DW in NY?

Anyone have any thoughts on how the new laws in NY will impact the return of DW there? Still can't believe NY did that. I feel for any of you guys that live there.

I've asked that question of a few different forums and nobody has posted an answer. My personal feelings are that it can't be good for business. Don't most 1911 mags hold 8 rounds?

Also, what about Remington in NY? They make the Bushmaster there, will they be allowed to produce the gun in NY for sale elsewhere or will they have to stop? If I were Remington, I'd pull the whole facility out of NY and move it to a more gun friendly state down south or out west.

Interesting times ahead.
Perhaps DW will move to Kansas City with the rest of CZ-USA?

If you think about it, I think NY has quite of few manufacturers. DW, Remington, Fusion I believe, Kimber too. Hard to beleive what NY passed and that the 8 round mag that I would bet most of us carry is now on the no-no list. I wonder if their new law limits how many mags a person can carry however?

I would be practicing all kinds of reloads these days. But to the OP - I agree this cannot be good for business internally to the state - externally I think there is a waiting list very long for any product. Finding any DW's locally is hard to do here in Dallas, and on-line as well or so it appears.

And Sig Saure in Maine. The northeast has been the home of firearms manufacture for centuries.

I wonder if they made exemptions for the manufacture and shipping out of state?
