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

Mr. Blade. Thanks for the post. As I cannot justify spending $3000 for an AR, I did just order a couple of range bags, explaining to them why, and also telling them I would appreciate it if they would do the same to the Feds and the Military, but that holding the states accountable was a good start.

good for them wish all manufactures would stand up and do this, ammo companies.. first and foremost just think if all those armed guards had no bullets...to protect those fat cats with... but it's a pipe dream.. I think ronny Barrett did this with the LAPD a few years ago.. in regards to his 50 cal M-82's also... no service on their weapon systems.. because they were pushing the anti 50 laws.. B2B
Probably dosen't seem so hollow to a police dept in NY or CA if they are trying to buy equipment ......
So how about the States that have passed laws opposing new federal anti-2nd Amendment laws? Or County Sheriff's Departments that have said they won't enforce those laws? Again I say it is a hollow statement when they exempt the very federal agencies that will enforce the laws this is supposed to be a statement against. To use a total blanket policy of not selling to local or state agencies other than whatcivilians can legally purchase comes off as a publicity stunt when the feds are exempted.
Frankly my cynicism alarm goes off and wonders if the feds don't make up a HUGE part of their business OR they are afraid of federal sanctions if they refused to sell to them.

I agree and am cynical myself in part in this policy. BUT at the same time i feel that showing support for LaRue in their decision might help to persuade other companys to do the same or more, rather than to just scoff off the idea.
IMO
