Kim du Toit is writing that the United Dairy Farmers (UDF) have begun posting "no-guns" notification signs in the states of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. I assume this is the Ohio equivalent of WaWa or 7-11? Ohioans For Concealed Carry (OFCC) noticed this last week and expressed their distaste for the new policy. UDF says that they are worried about store safety so they posted the signs.
OFCC wasn't the only one to notice the signs last week. Five UDF stores were robbed shortly after the signs were put up. But remember those signs make you safer.
Oh and some people may wonder if this is an attempt by gun owners to get even. It's possible, but I doubt it. Law abiding gun owners and Concealed-Carry Weapons permit holders (CCWers) in particular have a ridiculously low crime rate. Law enforcement has twice the crime rate of the CCW community. So it could happen, but I doubt it. More likely local crooks are targeting the stores because they are considered lower risk.
