BIG MISUNDERSTANDING: Henry Bierce Co. pulls ''no guns'' signs

Ohioans For Concealed Carry is happy to report that the Henry Bierce Company has removed their "no guns" signs, just two days after we first reported on the signs' existence.

According to a store representative, the whole thing was based on a big misunderstanding.

Representatives from the Henry Bierce Co. recently attended an informational meeting held by the Tallmadge Chamber of Commerce. At that meeting, information was handed out by the Tallmadge Police Department, advising businesses on the laws regarding businesses.

After their customer told them he was unhappy with the sign (and emailed OFCC), the store reviewed the information they received at the meeting. Turns out the store had misinterpreted the police department's literature.

Henry Bierce Co. now realizes it doesn't say businesses MUST ban - just informs them on how they could ban, if they wanted to. The Tallmadge Chamber of Commerce concurs, telling OFCC today that stores in Tallmadge should know that signs are NOT a requirement.

The signs have come down at the Henry Bierce Co., and citizens can again peacefully shop their favorite hardware store, as they have for nearly a century.
