We spoke with a representative of Staples who wanted to let us know that they had made a mistake and they are making it right by allowing the firearms industry to participate in any future contests.
Very good and refreshing to hear!We spoke with a representative of Staples who wanted to let us know that they had made a mistake and they are making it right by allowing the firearms industry to participate in any future contests.

It is nice to see more and more companies these days sitting up and taking notice that they really don't want to offend (anyone, really, but especially) those of us who are strong 2nd Amendment supporters.
Staples Descriminates Against Gun Dealer
staples is a private business, so i guess i have no right to tell them how to run their contest.....
Must be a local thing. I'd talk to the store manager, or the regional manager. Our (several) DFW, TX Staples stores have no such sign.Quit shopping at Staples after they put up a "no law abiding gun carriers" sign.
