The Law Enforcement Alliance of America (LEAA) is a non-profit, conservative[citation needed] gun rights corporation in the United States, headquartered just outside Washington, D.C., in Springfield, Virginia.
[1] Its membership is composed of active duty and retired law enforcement officers, crime victims, and other interested civilians.
It works to highlight incidents of civilian self-defense like that in which Harry Beckwith interrupted seven criminals in the process of stealing firearms from his gun store, ensuring six of them could be safely arrested by police.
[3] In 2002, LEAA spent $1.5-2 million to air ads against Democratic candidate Kirk Watson's bid for Texas Attorney General.
In 2003, Watson and Head filed a complaint in state court, accusing LEAA of using corporate funds in a political campaign in violation of Texas law.
