The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is pleased to announce that Lipsey’s – one of the largest independently owned shooting sports distributors in the country – has joined SAF as a corporate partner at the Diamond level.
Through a collaboration with SAF Diamond partner SIG SAUER, Lipsey’s offered an exclusive lineup of SIG P365 pistols with a portion of proceeds from each sale benefitting SAF’s legal efforts. SAF was the inaugural beneficiary of the program, and the collaboration raised more than $125,000 to help defend, secure and restore our Second Amendment rights.
“We’re proud to have the Second Amendment Foundation as the inaugural recipient of our SIG P365 2A project,” said Lipsey’s Vice President of Sales and Purchasing Brett Frey. “We hope this contribution will help SAF continue the amazing work they do in the courtroom to help protect and preserve our Second Amendment rights.”
Lipsey’s was formed in 1953 as a wholesale hunting and fishing distributor. Originally named S&S Wholesale, the name was changed 40 years later to Lipsey’s in 1993. Today, Lipsey’s is one of the largest independently owned, single-location firearms distributors in the country.
“I have had the privilege of touring the Lipsey’s facility in Louisiana, and I can say firsthand that the culture and operation they have created is second to none,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “Lipsey’s understands that protecting our constitutional right to keep and bear arms is imperative for the nation, as well as their business. They have demonstrated this understanding through their 2A project, and we are honored to be the first recipient of this unique Lipsey’s-SIG SAUER collaboration.”
