SAFE claims another business

Another company is leaving New York because of SAFE:

Defenshield Inc., a maker of ballistic shields for the military and law enforcement agencies, is moving to Florida … company executives told the chamber of commerce they were moving to St. Augustine because of Florida’s lower taxes and better climate … There may have been one other factor in the company’s decision.  A story in the St. Augustine Record on Saturday said Defenshield founder William Collins White III is a “self-professed gun enthusiast” and was a fan of Florida’s less-stringent firearms laws.  It was not immediately clear whether New York’s SAFE Act restrictions on military-style assault weapons interferes with the company’s operations …”

Good thing New York is Open for Business.
