Super Duty LE is available to credentialed law enforcement officers only. [More]Why? Unless it involves state bans, there's no law requiring this, and that's not the case here.
This is a problem with email ads -- people get them and you never know who's going to spot an issue that raises questions for them. In this case, a longtime WarOnGuns correspondent brought this to my attention, and I presume his concerns will not be unique among visitors here.
I've seen the company's answer, about supporting LE and giving an affordable price point to those who have to buy their own "patrol rifles." Admittedly, it's not unheard of for a company to have a special loyalty niche appeal as part of its marketing strategy.
Then, on the other hand, we have some ornery types, like me, who can think of all kinds of concerns.
I'll hold off on saying more because I also have seen the claim that "the same configuration, as well as a much wider range of options will be available to everyone once this takes off." How soon that happens and how "uncredentialed" prices compare will tell us more.

Visual aid I surfed across late last year: the Gadsden and the Thin Blue Line. Once in a while I see a vehicle with both decals on the back. They don't belong together.
I can think of a couple of reasons for their doing this. One is that corporate America is falling all over itself to get on the gun ban bandwagon, and this allows them to straddle the fence and see if they can become a "good" gun maker in the gun grabbers' eyes.
Another is they let this run for a while and then remove the restriction while starting a new ad campaign. "Previously available to law enforcement only but now available to the general public." They'll be selling them faster than they can make them.
The former would be inexcusable political conduct. The latter would be just another marketing ploy to separate you from your money.
