In response to the question on a now-closed thread on whether the Sherwin-Williams Paint Company is "anti-gun", I emailed the company to ask that very question. Here is the response I received today:
Edit: I informed Ms. Stephens which store had the sign posted.
Mr. Don H,
Your email was forwarded to me for a response to your recent question
regarding customers who possess firearms on company property.
Sherwin-Williams does not have a corporate policy concerning CUSTOMERS
carrying concealed weapon in our stores. We do however have a policy that
prohibits our EMPLOYEES from possessing weapons in our stores.
If you happen to know the store that has a sign displayed that states
"Firearms Prohibited" please let me know and we can request that such sign
be removed.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to respond to your question.
Ellen Stephens
Director HR Services
Paint Stores Group
