TTAG reader and Registered Nurse Lance Sauer recently received this email from MidwayUSA:

Currently, there are several parts of the country that have restrictions on civilian ownership of certain magazines or types of ammunition. Sometimes it is entire states and sometimes local municipalities pass these regulations, which I consider unconstitutional. At any rate, when we encounter these situations it has always been our policy not to sell to anyone in these areas, regardless of what law enforcement or government credentials they offer up. If the laws change and all law abiding citizens can buy these products we would be happy to sell to Law Enforcement, but not before then. Thanks for taking the time to be involved. I wish all firearms would follow your lead.

I do like the stance companies are taking, but I can't help but wonder how many LE agencies actually buy from these companies in the first place.

They should sell to anyone, regardless of state or local law. That'd make a much bigger statement.

Not sure what the laws are....But that sounds like a quick way for these companies to be fined, raided, or shut down. I believe you should always take the legal stance in a protest so the other side cannot use your "illegal" actions against you in the cause.

I'm pretty sure that as a private retailer, they have the right to refuse sales to whoever they wish.

Unjust laws shouldn't be followed. When tried, the jury can nullify, and justice wins.
