Some smaller gun makers react to the passage of SAFE.
LaRue Tactical announced they will only sell items to government agencies that are available to the general public:
“… 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 …”
Next, Olympic Arms cut off all government sales to New York:
“… Due the passing of this legislation, Olympic Arms would like to announce that the State of New York, any Law Enforcement Departments, Law Enforcement Officers, First Responders within the State of New York, or any New York State government entity or employee of such an entity – will no longer be served as customers …”
Today, Templar Custom is stopping all government sales as well:
“… Templar Custom is announcing that the State of New York, any Law Enforcement Departments, Law Enforcement Officers, First Responders within the State of New York, or any New York State government entity or employee will no longer be served as customers …”
Admittedly, these are small companies who probably don’t do that much business in the state to begin with. Hopefully some of the larger manufacturers will follow suit.
