A creative pro-law enforcement T-shirt design and resulting sales at NRAstore.com has led to a $39,000 donation to law enforcement.

The store debuted the “Thin Blue Line” T-shirt with a two-week promotion between July 28 and Aug. 12, in which 100 percent of the profits would support the NRA Foundation's Law Enforcement Training Endowment. The popularity of the shirt and strong sales resulted in a $39,000 donation to the endowment, which supports instructors, agencies and programs serving law enforcement personnel through enhancement of professional firearm-related skills, state-of-the-art gun safety and marksmanship training.

“Now more than ever, the NRA supports our men and women in blue across our country, and will continue to provide that support through our law enforcement programs,” said Kyle Weaver, NRA’s executive director of General Operations

The NRA "Thin Blue Line" T-shirt is still available at NRAstore.com, where 100 percent of profits support vital NRA programs.
