Patriotism was a prominent theme as gun manufacturer Kahr Firearms Group celebrated its new location in Pike County on Thursday with a groundbreaking and barbecue.
“We are very happy to be in Pike County, in a place where people love the Second Amendment and love guns. It is a great place to be,” Kahr founder Justin Moon said. “I just wish the rest of the country could be like Pike County.”
The groundbreaking included a flag ceremony, the Pledge of Allegiance, the singing of “God Bless America” and “God Bless the USA,” and a prayer from the Rev. Hyung Jin Moon, Justin Moon's brother, in which he mentioned the greatness of living in a free country.
Kahr Firearms Group includes Auto-Ordinance Corp., maker of the Tommy Gun, purchased in 1998; and Magnum Research, maker of the Desert Eagle, purchased in 2010.
“When good people carry guns, bad people think twice,” Justin Moon said.
The gun manufacturer bought the long-empty 600-acre Pike County Business Park on Well Road in Blooming Grove for $2 million last year and is expanding manufacturing and moving its entire New York operation out of that state to escape what it describes as an unfriendly gun climate there.
