Ruger confirms headquarters relocation and Connecticut office changes.
Ruger confirmed that its headquarters moved from Southport, Connecticut, to Mayodan, North Carolina, as reflected in its recent earnings report dateline and company statement.
Ruger’s relocation reflects a broader exodus of firearms companies from Connecticut, a state with a long gunmaking history but increasingly strict regulations since the 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy.
Other firms, such as Stag Arms and PTR Industries, have previously moved to states with perceived friendlier business climates. The move underscores the shrinking footprint of the gun industry in liberal blue anti 2A States.
