The company said the decision stemmed from “legislation recently proposed in Mass. that, if enacted, would prohibit the company from manufacturing certain firearms in the state.” Those products, Smith said, made up more than 60 percent of the company’s revenue last year. The move will relocate 750 jobs to Maryville, Tennessee, a location picked in part because of “support for the 2nd Amendment,” cost of living for employees, and access to higher education institutions. “The strong support we have received from the State of Tennessee and the entire leadership of Blount County throughout this process, combined with the quality of life, outdoor lifestyle, and low cost of living in the Greater Knoxville area has left no doubt that Tennessee is the ideal location for Smith & Wesson’s new headquarters,” Smith said. As part of the move and consolidation, Smith & Wesson said it would close its facilities in Connecticut and Missouri. The company said the move will begin in 2023 and “not have an impact on employees’ jobs until then.”

Paul Rose is in my district and he has signed.

We will find out for sure after September 20.

I just left FedEx where I ship all of my handguns that I sell out of state. I let the clerk read the information that is on this post. As far as she knows there have not been any policy changes in shipping of firearms. As long as you ship to a valid FFL it is OK. She said that she normally gets emails or information on any changes on shipping, but has has not received any information on the September 20 change. She also checked in her system to see if she could find any information. She could not find any information in her FedEx system on this change. I’m gonna keep checking on this and if I get any other further information I’ll let you know.

I just saw this. Great news.

I am going to stop by FedEx this afternoon and talk to them about this. I will get back later today and let you all know what information I can find out.

I have shipped a lot of handguns out of FedEx over the years. The latest one was back in July. The girl working the FexEx counter knows me pretty well and figures I'm there to ship a handgun. When I go to the FedEx counter I declare I am shipping a handgun. I always have a copy of the FFL papers were I am shipping the handgun. I have the form filled out which you can get from FedEx which has my information and the information were I am shipping the package. I always ship my handguns in a FedEx box which you can get for free. All handguns must be shipped over night which does cost a few pennies. I do not have an account with FedEx, but they have asked if I want to set one up. For me it has been a very easy process.

I have been looking for some recommendations on flag poles. Thanks for posting.

I am wondering how old this is because I have not had any issues shipping handguns with Fed Ex.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/willard-scott-weatherman-on-nbcs-today-show-dies-at-87/ar-AAO6wWY?ocid=uxbndlbing NEW YORK (AP) — Willard Scott, the beloved weatherman who charmed viewers of NBC's “Today” show with his self-deprecating humor and cheerful personality, has died.

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/NRA-cancels-annual-meeting-in-Houston-because-of-16408977.php The National Rifle Association announced it has canceled its annual meeting planned for Houston next weekend because of rising COVID-19 cases in Houston. “We make this difficult decision after analyzing relevant data regarding COVID-19 in Harris County, Texas,” the NRA said in a statement on its website. “We also consulted with medical professionals, local officials, major sponsors and exhibitors, and many NRA members before arriving at this decision.” The meeting was scheduled to be at the George R. Brown Convention Center from Sept. 3 to Sept 5 to mark the group’s 150th year. The NRA annual meeting typically brings in tens of thousands of attendees from across the nation. In 2019, Dallas officials estimated the convention there brought in over $40 million in spending to the local economy through hotel bookings and other tourism related spending. More than 70,000 people were estimated to have attended the meetings. It’s another blow to Houston’s convention business that is seeing cancellations climb. Amazon Web Services, Inc., canceled an in-person conference that was set to begin on Monday and an in-person Texas Realtors Conference planned for the George R. Brown Convention Center on Sept. 9. has also been scrubbed. “Despite our desire to gather for our annual conference, the capacity to meet emergency needs of visitors is severely impaired, thereby placing attendees at substantial risk,” the real estate group posted on its website.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/charlie-watts-rolling-stones-dead-80 Charlie Watts, best known as the prolific drummer for the rock band the Rolling Stones for more than half a century, has died. He was 80. A representative for Watts told Fox News Tuesday that the musician "passed away peacefully in a London hospital earlier today surrounded by his family." No cause of death was given yet. The publicist said: "Charlie was a cherished husband, father and grandfather and also as a member of The Rolling Stones one of the greatest drummers of his generation." Concerns about Watts' health came up earlier this year when he announced that, despite being the band's resident drummer since 1963, he would be sitting out the band's 2021 U.S. "No Filter" tour in order to recover from an undisclosed medical procedure. "Charlie has had a procedure which was completely successful, but his doctors this week concluded that he now needs proper rest and recuperation," Variety reported the spokesperson said at the time. "With rehearsals starting in a couple of weeks it’s very disappointing to say the least, but it’s also fair to say no one saw this coming." The quiet, elegantly dressed Watts was often ranked with Keith Moon, Ginger Baker and a handful of others as a premier rock drummer, respected worldwide for his muscular, swinging style as the band rose from its scruffy beginnings to international superstardom. He joined the Stones early in 1963 and remained over the next 60 years, ranked just behind Mick Jagger and Keith Richards as the group’s longest lasting and most essential member. The Stones began, Watts said, "as white blokes from England playing Black American music" but quickly evolved their own distinctive sound. Watts was a jazz drummer in his early years and never lost his affinity for the music he first loved, heading his own jazz band and taking on numerous other side projects. A classic Stones song like "Brown Sugar" and "Start Me Up" often began with a hard guitar riff from Richards, with Watts following closely behind, and Wyman, as the bassist liked to say, "fattening the sound." Watts’ speed, power and time keeping were never better showcased than during the concert documentary, "Shine a Light," when director Martin Scorsese filmed "Jumpin’ Jack Flash" from where he drummed toward the back of the stage.
