    Default Another +1 for Magpul

    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.

    Now that has some horsepower behind it. I was a bit skeptical with the other smaller companies refusing sale to LEO and what effect it would have. Magpul on the other hand not selling sends a message

    This is just a good company all the way around. I will happily support them for all of my evil black accessory needs in the future.

    they are still a private company though. I haven't checked the lists but I don't think any big public ones have said anything like this.

    True, but they're a major source of military/LEO supply.
