Not one of these companies is stopping the sale to private citizens. And, if as you state, use their personal equipment, are just fine purchasing. I applaud a company that will not sell to the very government that is messing with our 2A rights.texanjoker wrote:Thanks for the post. Another company I won't support. Individual LEO's are not the problem and often use personal equipment to protect the public.
I guess I missed the email or FB post about actually not selling to LE but have all the news about moving out of CO. Thanks for point out.Jumping Frog wrote:Magpul led the charge on this.

REGARDING LEO SALES
March 1st, 2013
Back in 1990, when I was deployed in Desert Shield and Desert Storm as a Marine grunt, some companies prioritized me items for my M16 for shipping that I purchased with my own funds. After getting out and forming Magpul in 1999, I established the same priority policy for Military and Law Enforcement, due to the requirements of their profession.
The same policy has been in place for 13 years now and has never been an issue until a few days ago. I do not support the idea that individual police officers should be punished for the actions of their elected officials. That said, I understand the concerns that some have with Law Enforcement officers getting special treatment while at the same time denouncing second amendment rights to another citizen in the same state.
With the fight in Colorado right now we do not have time to implement a new program, so I have suspended all LE sales to ban states until we can implement a system wherein any Law Enforcement Officer buying for duty use will have to promise to uphold their oath to the US Constitution - specifically the second and fourteenth amendments - as it applies to all citizens.
