“There’s some information that suggests that some of these manufacturers build their sales models on an assumption that at least 20 percent of the weapons will get sold illegally. So the industry is even building on the assumption that this is happening out there and there are many reasons this is the time to respond.”

Of course he will not share where he got this super-duper info. Probably because he either made it up or read it in a Gun Control website somewhere. As much as I try to figure it out, I see no logic behind that statement: regardless of the percentage of guns stolen, gun companies do not make a profit on them.

NEWS RELEASE:
02/08/2012 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

But if you actually go to the article, what you read is something completely different:

And they still wonder why the are losing ground and why people (except the MSM) do not trust them.

Josh & Ladd can give NBC/MSNBC classes on how to blatantly lie to the People.

Shooting Brother Enrico M. teaching a First Step class on IDPA. If you carry concealed while wearing a cover garment like jacket, vest, shirt, etc your do not pussyfoot moving the garment away but do it in a manner forceful enough to clear the gun and avoid any tangles or screw ups. Do notice the placement of the Weak/Non-Dominant hand: Away from the projected path of the coming gun but ready to be used in a two-hand hold.

Tropical Sport Shooting Association teaches these classes to those interested in participate in IDPA but are afraid that their gun manipulation is not good enough. Go ahead and contact your local IDPA Club, if they do not have an established class, more than likely they will have somebody coach you before and  during a match.

Go for it!

” If you worry about shooting a match and “Oh My God! I’ll never get over it if I come in dead last,” consider you are pretty close to the one in a million people who is willing to test their skills at this. If you ever do come dead last, you still came out ahead of a few hundred thousands of people who thought they were cool but didn’t have the guts to get out there and test themselves like you just did.”
