Hi,

I'm a member of OFCC and I would like to report a small success.
I belong to the Black River Historical Society in Lorain. A few months ago I noticed a sign in the entrance door to the museum stating that firearms were not permitted. I asked to speak to the board of trustees and did so at one of their monthly meetings.
I presented the arguments the OFCC and NRA supports regarding the rights of a person legally licensed to carry. They said they would think about it.
Today I received a letter from the board stating that there was a majority vote to remove the "no guns allowed" sign from the door.
Thank you for making talking points regarding this issue available in the newsletter.

Two people were slashed across the throat in an incident Thursday night at a local barbershop, NBC 4's Mike Bowersock reported.
The slashings happened at about 7 p.m. at the First Clips at the corner of College and Livingston avenues.
One man, believed to be a barber, was found inside the shop. His throat had been slashed with a razor from ear to ear. The 28-year-old man was taken to Grant Medical Center in critical condition.
A 25-year-old man, believed to be a customer, ran to a nearby gas station after the incident. His throat was also slashed with a razor. He was transported to Grant Medical Center in stable condition.
Police do not have a motive for the slashings. They said they are not ruling out robbery. The barbershop was supposed to close at 6 p.m., according to a sign at the shop.
Commentary:
The following hair care locations in Ohio ban CHL-holders:
Just who do they think they're protecting?
Contact information for these discriminatory and unsafe businesses is available on OFCC's Do Not Patronize While Armed database.
Consider these other recent examples in Ohio which prove that gun control doesn't work to prevent crime:
Felony dad still had gun, accidentally shot baby
Dayton 19-year old illegally conceals handgun, takes shot at girlfriend
Inmate smuggles weapon into jail
Zanesville 18-year old illegally conceals handgun, kills man in fight
