Robberies in ''no-guns'' victim zones continue

It's been yet another dangerous week for customers of "no-guns" businesses in Ohio.

Criminals just don't seem to be able to grasp the idea that guns aren't allowed in places like the (Wisconsin-owned, northwest Ohio-based) Sterling Food Stores chain...

· Findlay Sterling Food Stores Robbery
The Findlay/Hancock County Crime Stoppers program is seeking help in finding a man who robbed a Sterling Store here last month. A man wearing a dark mask and claiming to have a gun entered the store at 1058 Fostoria Ave. about 9:30 p.m. Dec. 24 and demanded money. He fled on foot after obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash, police told the Toledo Blade.

Just weeks after a CHL-holder stopped an attack in the parking garage of ''no-guns'' hospital, a different hospital garage was the scene of a robbery:
