Uh, what? There's so many LEOs in this area. Each federal agency has its own LEO force. We probably have the most LEOs per capita of any major US metro area. And that's not including the Tacticool dorks rocking a desk job at DoD who buy their stuff.

If B&M for 5.11 can't survive here, then it won't survive anywhere!

Abolish ICE and defund the police!

They also sell what appears to be bulletproof vests, with a warning that "this is not a bulletproof vest"!

I bought pants there for my EMT course. Not cheap, but well-made.

The issue is not whether 511 caters to the police or to rock climbers or even emts.

All of those professions are toxically masculine and therefore so is 511.

But we still need to buy pants.

Probably drawing a lot of wannabes.

Has anyone else noticed how many failed mall cops seem to be flocking to this area? Just gross.

Had not noticed.

Where, specifically?

Got some quality pants there for a 2-week backpacking trip. I can't remember the details now -- either REI was out of what I wanted or I didn't like what they had. Anyway, 5.11 came through.
