Texas Gov. Rick Perry is a bit more leisurely in his tweets; each manufacturer gets a separate but similar invitation: come on down!

Competition for gun manufacturers is heating up, with Maine Gov. Paul LePage extending his hand via an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal.
Many good ideas in this letter. — Paul LePage: Beretta, Colt and Magpul—Come to Maine http://t.co/gGZf8HSTxV via @WSJ

Writes LePage:
We are dismayed to see strict anti-gun legislation in states that are home to some of our country’s best firearms manufacturers. Beretta USA Corp. in Maryland, Colt Manufacturing Co. in Connecticut and Magpul Industries in Colorado are facing hostile—and hysterical—legislation from politicians who slap them in the face for providing their states with jobs, opportunity and revenue.
