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

Good for Mr. LaRue….. 🙂
What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander.
Good move by Mark LaRue.

You’re doin’ it wrong…
Although I share the sentiment, the federal policies are well defined if you compare them with the ones at state level.
There is always that element of “please don’t screw the pooch” when dealing with the Feds. That said, i hope whoever approves Federal orders triple checks and peer-checks everything as humanly possible while also relying on computers to do an initial check.
With all the crap coming down the pipeline, it’s bound to happen somewhere. now if we can get the other manufacturers to provide a similar business statement and stick with it.
Good on you, LaRue.
Excellent.
