LaRue tactical limits LE sales to same as civilian

That takes some stones.

 

First of all it's about to get worse in CA than it is in NY. With the legislature packed with democrats it's pretty much a certainty that quite a bit will pass. Everything from outlawing detachable magazines to mandatory insurance for gun owners is in the pipeline.

 

So in response, LaRue tactical, a small manufacturer in Texas decides that all sales to LE departments (excluding federal and the military) will be to the same standards that civilians are held to. For example, the same mag limits and feature prohibitions.

 

That's sure to whizz some people off, and the comments on FPC's facebook posting and LaRue's facebook are already drawing some nasty responses.

Awesome of him to put his money on the line since all that will happen is they will order from some other manufacturer. Doubt he had many sales to states that aren't into quality parts either way. And he will sell all of his stock anyways

Good on them. I liked the letter he sent out. Kinda like a stealthy (or not) middle finger to the government.

Every gun manufacturer needs to do this!!

We should all write them to do exactly that. I will. Will everyone else?

[kotkot 26]

I will Vlad. Please share contact list. Perhaps make it sticky?

Better yet, BUY SOMETHING FROM THEM when you send them your thank you letter. Make up for one of the sales.

 

I have LaRue Tactical mounts on two of my rifles, and they are the best in the world. Plus, they send you an Aardvark bottle opener and maybe even some BBQ rub if you are lucky. BUY SOMETHING FROM THEM.

Count me in, but it would be helpful if you could share the contact list. : )

It's an armadillo, not an ardvark and yes thier stuff is top notch.

its not hard guys. Go to the webpages of S&W, Ruger, Colt, FN, Remingon, Glock, Mossberg, Kimber, Sig, Bushmaster, etc and click on the "Contact Us" button nearly everyone has.

 

Then call them or write them a note saying basically if you want me to support you, then support us. Without us, there is not a big enough market for them to exist on government contracts alone.

 

 

Yes, I know it will take an hour to contact 20-30 manufacturers. I think its worth it.

 

Also, contact NSSF, they represent the industry.

emails sent. Hopefully we'll see others follow suit.

Disregard last post

I believe Barrett did the same thing in NJ when the last "AWB" was passed. They basically held the government to the same standards as civvies. Essentially they said that if the civilian market wasn't allowed to own their firearms, neither would they sell to L.E. departments. It seemed to draw quite a bit of criticism but it worked. I plan on writing the companies tomorrow and following up with phone calls to them stating the I feel it is a good tactic.

You can always post it on their Facebook page and tweet them, may be quicker and it takes less time. Social networking is very important to any company these days and they pay attention to this data.

There were a lot of manufacture that didn't provide an email but a web form, so I couldn't get the email address.

 

But this is a start...

Seems like Olympic Arms are already on board...

I just sent an email to every manufacturer you listed above. I will let you guys know if I get a response.

[Njbanshee 9]

I'm getting a bunch of generic responses that say they are overwhelmed with emails and I will hear back in a few days.
