Wilson Combat Announces
Anti-Gun States, No-Sale Policy Effective: February 28, 2013 Wilson Combat will no longer provide any products or services to any State Government imposing legislation that infringes on the second amendment rights of its law abiding citizens. This includes any Law Enforcement Department, Law Enforcement Officers, or any State Government Entity or Employee of such an entity. This also applies to any local municipality imposing such infringements. States currently included in our No-Sale Policy are: California Hawaii Maryland Massachusetts New Jersey New York Washington D.C. The City of Chicago, Illinois Wilson Combat will in NO way support the government of these states or their anti-gun agenda that only limits the rights of law-abiding citizens. Wilson Combat will continue to supply any product and/or service they can legally sell in these states to all non-government affiliated citizens. Ryan Wilson, Vice President |
| I will be sure to give Wilson Combat more buisness in our free states so as magpul and any other company who are willing to sacrifice sales in order to support Freedom in th U.S.. |
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
|
While I applaud the refusal to sell to governmental organizations, I would like to remind people that police officers are:
1) possessing the same rights as any other citizen. Why not refuse to sell to National Guardsmen from those states? 2) are NOT RESPONSIBLE for the laws that are passed... and it is often the police officers who attempt to minimize the damage done by bad laws until we the people elect lawmakers who will fix them. THIS is the reason I won't BUY or WORK ON/ WITH anything made by Wilson Combat (and I do a fair amount of free gunsmithing for guys -both LE and not- who can't afford to pay for a lot of custom work -usual fee is a Shiner Bock in a bottle)... until they respect the rights of INDIVIDUALS equally.

Although I don't disagree with your sentiment about PDs. Someone always marches to a different drummer. Please extend your list to include the following manufacturers; Olympic Arms, Inc La Rue Tactical EFI, LLC – Extreme Firepower York Arms Templar Custom Cheaper Than Dirt Barrett Firearms Exile Machine Tier One Arms Bravo Company USA Primary Weapons Systems Crusader Weaponry Top Gun Supply Kiss Tactical Clark Fork Tactical OFA Tactical One Source Tactical Templar Tactical Arms NEMO Arms Old Grouch’s Military Surplus Big Horn Armory Midway USA CMMG Inc Rocky Top Tactical Badger Peak Controlled Chaos Arms SRT Arms Norton Firearms Citizen Arms Evolution Weaponry Doublestar Corp JCW Industries Huntertown Arms This list, most likely has expanded further since it dates back to February of this year. I suspect the majority of gun owners support this "boycott" of anti gun States, specially those that live in the affected states. |

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

In other words you would arrest someone for having 8 rounds in 10 round magazine if your employer told you to. |

As a victim of the New York State SAFE Act and legislature, I applaud Wilson Combat for their stance. As soon as I move to a free state, I will endeavor to significantly contribute to their bottom line. Before that I will look to purchase what items are legal in New York State. David |

Your indignation has been noted and filed away under " irrelevant." |

I sent this message to Wilson combat after placing my order: I placed my first order with Wilson Combat after hearing of your support for Law Abiding gun owners in New York State. Thank you for standing with us against a tyrannical governor. I wish I could afford to order more. This was the reply from Wilson Combat Support: IT IS OUR HONOR We appreciate your business! David |

Except for when they work exceptions into the laws so they can continue to be a separate class unto themselves? If I can't have more the 10rds neither should any cop. Imagine how fast these laws would be tossed if that happened. FUAC |

Ironic that a NJ poster put this up & his state is on the list.
I wonder how much business Wilson did with those states? Regardless, I applaud Bill Wilson. |
