Robbed once, Willoughby store owners vow NEVER AGAIN

The owner of Video Reply on Robinhood Drive in Willoughby, Ohio says being made a victim by an armed robber Monday, September 27 has given him a whole new outlook on self-defense in the workplace.

Adam, a former U.S. Marine, told OFCC that although he is a long-time gun owner, he and his business partners Brian and Pam had "never felt the need to exercise our right to carry."

"That has changed now," he added.

Already this week, Adam and Brian (a reservist who will be departing to serve his country in Iraq in January) have signed up for Concealed Handgun License training, and contacted OFCC to inquire about obtaining signs stating that patronage from CHL-holders is encouraged.

"I can't even communicate how pissed I am...at myself," Adam continued. "I'm just glad I was working that night, as Brian and Pam usually have their baby in the store with them in a crib.

"I'm sick of [seeing] those 'anti' stickers," said Adam. "We would like to be added to
any list of establishments who welcome responsible licensed concealed carry."

Let would-be criminals in Willoughby take note - there's a new sign in the window of "Video Replay"...and inside you will find any number of employees and customers who refuse to be victims.
