Man Takes Stand In Canada: Beckley Native Questions Sale of Half of Company to US Arms Maker

A man from Beckley has made headlines in Canada for quitting his job.For three years, Paul Cottle worked as an engineer at MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates, an information solutions company in British Columbia.

In January, the CEO gathered all employees and told them half the company would be sold to Alliant Techsystems, a Minnesota-based arms manufacturer known as ATK.

"I knew [ATK] was nothing I wanted to be involved with," the 31-year-old said. "Leaving my job ... was an absolute certainty that I knew right away."

So he quit right then.
