In recent years they abandoned California and relocated to Wyoming.

Weatherby is a great example, a gun friendly state asked if they were interested, helped them build the required buildings etc and then built a whole industrial area around them with ancillary services and opportunities for other businesses to move there. And also created a transport hub that best served all those new businesses, and offered land for staff to build new homes etc. A win/win for both Weatherby and Wyoming. And production costs went down considerably.
