Shoot Responsibly
DPMS Panther Arms do not condone unnecessary or excessive force, or illegal acts of aggression.
We want to help you stay safe, legal, and prepared as you exercise your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
The right to keep and bear arms, to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and the innocent and vulnerable in our communities deserves to be steadfastly protected. We believe that education on local laws, procedures, and proper use of our firearms is a key and vital component of defending those rights.
As firearm owners, we pride ourselves on accepting the added responsibility that comes along with gun ownership.
We know that safety and security are paramount principles. That's why we are gun owners in the first place.
WE AT DPMS PANTHER ARMS PROMOTE FREEDOM AND THE SAFE AND LEGAL USAGE OF OUR PRODUCTS BY LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. THE PRODUCTS WE SELL ARE NOT TO BE USED WITH UNNECESSARY OR EXCESSIVE FORCE, OR ILLEGAL ACTS OF AGGRESSION.
