ADCO firearms Not CA or L/E friendly

[Jicko]

+1 for Steve @ ADCO, good guy..... I have even been to his shop physically...

RE: hi-cap mag to CA cops... all US businesses have the right to deny business to anyone...

PS. is there a link to "exactly" what he said on ARF? and maybe a little background on the story...... maybe the CA LE pissed him off first? I dunno....

PPS. "ADCO firearms Not CA or L/E friendly" <- I don't think he is not-CA friendly, i used him to get me stuff and build me stuff before! maybe just not CA-LE friendly....

How come when Barrett refused to service and sell .50s to CA LEOs, he was labeled a hero, but when ADCO do the same they're Anti-CA?

Just a heads up ADCO firearms posted this quote on another gun forum...

I dont sell mags to cops in CA either. One cop wanted me to send him GSG Mags. **** him.

If your looking to buy something from the company maybe you should buy elsewhere.. Seems like he's anti CA anti LEO...

Thanks for the heads up. Guys obviously anti cop. **** him.

I don't think he's anti-cop, looks like he's anti special privileges for cops.

Lets agree to disagree

Thanks for the heads up, Ill make sure I never do business with him. Just another hater.

I thought this was an LEO forum?? Airsoft is a joke, .22LR is an inexpensive way to train with duty weapons. So should LEO's not be able to get hi-cap mags for .22 conversions for Sig P226s and .22 mags for AR15's?

If everyone didnt go overboard with their ammo hoarding maybe we could actually find ammo at decent prices train with something other than .22.


Just my 2 cents

[DANGERCLOSE]

maybe we should get a group buy together from a supporting competitor i could use more 22 rounders. i am not special but will take advantage of the letter of the law. by the way isn't that what oll and everything else we do here is about. if adco doesn't want our business, then i bet there are 10 more that will.

Bingo... Barrett's stand is built on the principle of equal protection.

It would be nice to see the full context of what ADCO said or did at arf.com or where ever.

ADCO is good people. Don't come here and slander him because of a decision to treat non-leo with some respect.

[tyrist]

Barrett said they wouldn't service the department guns... IE the guns owned by the gov. After the Ca gov went after Barrett.

ADCO refused to sell to an individual officer just a mag... that's a huge difference. Do you think a beat cop has any say in the law or 2A rights? no. ADCO just sounds anti cop.

Yup it's two very different things...Barret is more than happy to offer support to a private LE owner of his rifles. Not to mention the language used by ADCO in the first place.

If he stated he didn't want to make any exceptions that is fine...to actually say **** him is entirely different.

This is the point well put.

So saying "f*** him" to a guy because he wanted to buy some mags because he is a cop is treating others with respect? No ones slandering him. If that's what he said that's what he said.

Except the OP won't post a link to what he is talking about, so we don't have the whole story.
