NEWS RELEASE:
02/08/2013 LEANDER, TX.

Updated Policy for State and Local Agency Law Enforcement Sales:

Due to the recent and numerous new Anti-gun/Anti-2nd Amendment laws passed and/or pending across our country, LaRue Tactical has been forced to reconsider how we provide products to state and local agencies.

Effective today, in an effort to see that no legal mistakes are made by LaRue Tactical and/or its employees, we will apply all current State and Local Laws (as applied to civilians) to state and local law enforcement / government agencies. In other words, LaRue Tactical will limit all sales to what law-abiding citizens residing in their districts can purchase or possess.

State and local laws have always been a serious focus of this firm, and we are now dovetailing that focus with the constitutional rights of the residents covered in their different areas by the old and new regulations.

We realize this effort will have an impact on this firm’s sales - and have decided the lost sales are less danger to this firm than potential lawsuits from erroneous shipments generated by something as simple as human error.

Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Mark LaRue

I have no problem with it whatsoever. Only thing I’d change would be to include Federal and .Mil.

I got this email and as a long time customer who has spent thousands with Larue I will not anymore. Why is it that Federal LEO and Military lives are worth more than mine?

Agreed Alaska. Apparently the sales for those agencies are too high to lose. It sounds hypocritical as a lot of this talk is coming from the Fed.

5

Curious, what is it you are purchasing as an agency from Larue, that you are prohibited from buying as a civilian?

6

Maybe they could alter the fine print, but overall they’re taking a noble stand for what is fundamentally right.

7

Stand by for the free country defense.

8

Just for the record you have made similar arguments in other threads suggesting you should be exempt from civilian restrictions because your an you LEO.

Soooo yea that is how the non LEOs have been feeling right along.

I’m pretty sure Alaska is going to one up CA and NY and enact stricter gun controls.:rolleyes:

Crocodile tears and violin music from an AK LEO.

Um, if you read the letter they are concerned about the local laws. Basically, it sounds like they were advised to apply the local laws to the local LEOs in order to avoid finding themselves getting targeted for legal action because the stupid Governors did not think about the repercussions of new anti-gun laws (IE: NY State).

I can’t say I blame them. What good will it do to anyone if they end up closing shop because of the cost of litigation?

11

Sounds good to me.

How is it that LEO lives are worth more than mine? The public you serve and protect? We can’t have Larue guns in CA…so?

Nail meet hammer.

And I’m glad to see LaRue on board with this however it should be extended to FLEA as well.

14

Glad to here that

15

I know you’re a little mad but good to see you back. Mean that.

16

Wait so they will still sell to everyone but local LE?

17

That’s what I got out of reading it quickly

18

Your BS is really getting old, dude.

19

How many nuclear weapons does the state of California guard?

I cannot think of a single Federal agency that authorizes privately owned LaRue rifles for official carry.

Oh, and bravo to LaRue tactical. I’d like to see more and more manufacturers tow this line with EVERY LE agency.
