Some of you may be familiar with NM Gun Collector Software, written by Clay Pryor. He's on a collector mailing list I subscribe to. He contacted John Deere about the possibility of offering his software along with their safes, for inventory purposes.
Here's the response:
Clay Pryor: Good morning. Thank you for your inquiry and interest in John Deere.
However, there are several categories that John Deere has made a conscious decision to stay out of. One of these categories is firearms. As such, we are not in a position to entertain any endeavor that would associate our brand with any type of firearm, whether it be a handgun, a rifle, or a collectable item.
Sincerely ............ Sara Wallarab, JD Agricultural Division
So, the official John Deere position is, "Thanks, but no guns or gun-related stuff!"
Except... did you notice that Clay was interested in selling his software with their safes? Those would be these safes:
John Deere safes
Lotta guns there.
