This is one of those good news/maybe not so good news kind of stories. Jobs are coming to Payson, Arizona (population 15,547), and that’s always good news. HPR Ammunition is opening a manufacturing facility that will provide dozens of jobs by the end of the year. This is the first manufacturer in 20 years to move into the mountain community. With unemployment rates hovering around 11 percent, the mayor and townsfolk are happy to put out the welcome mat.
The maybe not so good news is the reason HPR Ammunition is setting its sights on Arizona. The bullet maker says there’s an increasing number of gun enthusiasts in the Southwest, and they want to get in on the action. HPR Ammunition is on target to churn out 15 million small arms bullets this year. With Arizona crime rates above the national average and tensions growing over illegal immigration, let’s hope shooting ranges are the only places where these bullets take aim.
