Illinois, especially the "Quad City" area has a huge number of firearms manufacturers. Going off the top of my head; Springfield Armory, Rock River Arms, Armalite, DSA. If you look just over the border in Iowa you add a few more to the list.

So with that you have a large surplus of people who know how to work on and build guns, especially in the West/Central part of the state.

The business climate is better across the border in MO or IA but if this guy was an Illinois resident already he'd get screwed on the taxes anyways.
