SIGNS COME DOWN: Marc's discount stores pull discriminatory signs
On Monday, March 22, Ohioans For Concealed Carry began receiving reports that Marc's/XPECT, an Ohio-owned and operated discount chain in northeast Ohio, had begun posting discriminatory signs against CHL-holders.
We quickly brought this matter to our members' and supporters' attention, along with information on a shopping alternative, since national competitor Walmart has indicated they will NOT be posting such signs.
It didn't take long for Marc's to get the message we've been sharing on What Business Owners Need to Know About CCW.
Two days later, on Wednesday March 24, Marc's began emailing the following announcement to concerned customers:

Thank you for your comments regarding the firearms signs you may have seen posted in some of our stores. Please note-- these signs were put up without approval and have since been removed. We appreciate you continued patronage.

This corporation is making a responsible decision. There are no credible studies that show increased dangers to businesses because of concealed carry, yet many prove the benefits.
