After our Ohio Conceal Carry laws went into affect I visited a local eating establishment, only to discover they they had promptly placed a sign on the entrance
door forbidding licensed permit holders to carry a firearm in the business.

I notified notified this web site, and I mailed the owners of Timbers Restaurant at Bainbridge, Ohio 45612 that the policy of restricting my lawful right to carry a firearm inside their restaurant was not a way for them to be a safe place for me or my family. I told them that, sign or no sign, a criminal can still come in with a firearm and rob them, cause physical harm to me or my family because they were taking away my right to protect myself. Despite my letter, there was no change in their policy.

And so on Tuesday, November 30, 2004, three armed thugs came in just as the employee bagged up the cash from the register and demanded the money. They walked away with two bags of cash. The owners are out that money, which from their having these no firearms allowed signs on the entrance door has gotten them robbed because the thugs knew they were safe from being confronted
by anyone with a firearm.

Thought you might like this report that took place November 30th, at the Timbers Restaurant in Bainbridge, Ohio 45612.
