NC man quits job at DICK’S Sporting Goods in protest of new gun sales policy
SWANSBORO, NC (WNCT) — A North Carolina salesman at a DICK’S Sporting Goods store said he quitting his job over the store’s new “liberal policies” on gun sales.
WNCT reports, Griffin Mccullar posted his resignation letter to Facebook on Thursday saying:
” … I do not have one bad thing to say about this store. However I cannot be the face of these new gun policies in affect. I find them morally and constitutionally wrong. I refuse to be a part of a corporation with these liberal policies … Sincerely, the 20 year old employee, that is an avid hunter, who can no longer purchase firearms from the store in which he is a salesman at the gun counter.”
The 20-year-old felt he could no longer work for or support a company where he could not buy guns himself.
The company said it will also raise the minimum age for all gun sales to 21.
DICK’S will not sell high-capacity magazines that allow shooters to fire far more rounds than traditional weapons without reloading, as well as other accessories used with weapons similar to the AR-15.
So far, Mccullar’s post has more than 81,800 shares.
