This is a good start

I saw an article about a new policy from the firearms manufacturer LaRue Tactical. Here is their statement:

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.

I'd love to see more companies follow suit but it needs to apply to the Feds too.

I saw that as well, although I couldn't find the press release on LaRue's website.

Bravo!! I will not forget this with future purchases.

It was supposedly posted on their facebook but I'm not on facebook so I could not verify it.

Look like Olympic Arms is adopting a similar policy

Here is the Larue release

I'd like to see a major handgun manufacturer do something like this. Maybe Glock or Smith and Wesson. That would really get some attention. There are dozens of AR15 manufacturers to choose from but I'm willing to bet most of the police forces carry Glocks or Smiths.

On Facebook tonight was an article about Magpul...They are in CO. They told the state that if they pass certain gun ban laws at the state level, they would move their factories out of the state...Then they would lose the taxes and the people they employ will lose their jobs...

I love these people standing up for what is right...

I would love to see Glock cut the NYPD off. If revolvers and fudd shotguns with three round capacity are sufficient for the citizens to use for self defense then they are more than sufficient for the civilian police force. The police have the benefit of body armor, larger numbers, and radios to rapidly summon help, after all, so they need even less firepower than a homeowner who is on their own.

1) Glock is only popular with non-LEO because of the over-exposure they get with so many LEO using their product. Glock sells their product cheap to LEO for this exposure and won't scuttle their free advertising.

2) My privately purchased body armor is leaps and bounds superior to the body armor the taxpayers bought for me. If you don't have body armor in your closet then that is only because you chose not to buy any and can't really be used as a justification why someone is better-equipped than you.

That being said what do you have?

The issued crap is an old Second Chance level IIA.

I'll do a thread about body armor and hopefully ferret out other owners, too.
