LaRue Tactical
has issued a statement on
their Facebook page describing their new policy, that they will
limit what products are available to state and local law enforcement
to what is legal to own for all other citizens. This is a direct
response to many proposed state and local laws.
Here’s
the release:
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.

policy does not apply to Military / Federal Agencies * *
While we can
see how this is a way to protect themselves legally, LaRue’s
policy sends another subtle message. If you endorse, vote for and
pass increased gun control laws, we’re not going to play nice
with your protectors. It’s a risky position, but one that has
worked well for other companies, like Barrett.
