Shell station manager removes ''no-guns'' signs

To: OFCC CCW Discussion List

Had a discussion with a nice chap who owns a Shell station down here in the Columbus area--he had a "GhostBusters" [gun w/ circle-slash] sign up that had "fine print" to the effect that "Unlawful Carry" was prohibited. The sign came in a package with other stuff (Min. Wage, Workman's Comp., etc. from Shell, I believe).

Like most people, I keyed in on the GhostBusters part of the sign, and
explained [to the manager] what I thought was wrong with it... He promptly tore it down and won me as a customer!

He said he hadn't had much time to think about it or learn what the Ohio CCW law had to say about the issue---being a sole proprietor makes one focus his priorities a bit higher on Maslow's Hierarchy--but he was definitely pro-gun (and an NRA member!)

I had left a "No Guns, No $" card [before we talked], and [now gave him] a Ohio CHL Holders Welcome sign...and have submitted his business as a Safe Alternative. He is very interested in OFCC and will be checking out the website.
