Yeah so I talked about this with some of the dealers about this when i first made the thread. There are certain options (wigwag, red/blue, LEO/Govt. stuff) that they cannot provide to private citizens, but the majority of the equipment is available. They said that they are produced in North America for US deliveries. When you say that they are handled by a State Dept. Office of sorts, they restrict or allow private entities to purchase these vehicles? I haven't heard of that for armored vehicles, in the United States at least.
