Many more Ohio businesses remove discriminatory signs
In the wake of nationwide attention on Ohioans For Concealed Carry's effort to inform CHL-holders of where their business is not wanted, Ohio's media is giving significant attention to a FEW businesses on the "Do Not Patronize While Armed" list who are refusing to reconsider their discriminatory policies.
Very few reporters have mentioned, let alone called to interview, the many businesses (including at least 7 major chains and close to 10 other businesses) which we have already listed as having removed their signs.
The list of former banners which are again "free to shop" stores is growing rapidly. Here are the latest stores to notify us they have removed their discriminatory signs:
After reading "What Business Owners Need to Know about CCW", one business owner on this list told us "as a business owner I realized my [establishment] should not be used to voice my opinions. I do appreciate hearing the opinions of others and participating in a good discussion."
Other business are again reporting signs were posted in inconspicuous places, without permission. Since the law requires posting in "conspicuous" locations, anti-gun extremists who are disrespecting these business' private property rights aren't even accompishing their goal in many cases - CHL-holders cannot honor signs they don't/ can't see.

We are still receiving reports that many groceries and carryouts are under the false impression that they are required to post signs if they have a Class D liquor permit. This is NOT the case - click here for more info.
Kroger customer service is reporting that complaints about the posting of signs in the Cincinnati/ Dayton area have "slowed down" to a couple of dozen per rep per day. Kroger's hypocritical, discriminatory signs (they don't post in the rest of the state, or across the nation) aren't down, and emails stating they are now "reexamining the issue" are still being issued.
These businesses have responded to their customers and taken down their signs. They deserve your business. More importantly, please support the thousands upon thousands of businesses that never posted in the first place.
