Alderman Laws
| was reading the purchase order and you are switching over to the Sig Sauer P320. Sig is in New Hampshire,
but we are ordering from a company outside of New Hampshire. Is there a reason for that? Does Sig not
distribute directly to police departments or are we getting a better deal from a dealer distributor?
Adam Anderson, NPD
Atlantic Tactical is the only company authorized to operate in the northeast per six hours, so it’s a sole source.
