UDF's latest letter...to a guy with just a bit of victim zone experience...

Roger Caron, a CHL-holder who has unfortunate experience with what it is like to be in a "no-guns" victim zone where only the criminals have guns, has notified OFCC that United Dairy Farmers has begun issuing a letter that reveals the reasons why they believe banning CHL-holders from their stores is promoting safety.

    Thank you for your recent inquiry to the Concealed Weapons signs placed in the United Dairy Farmers stores. We appreciate the time you took to share your opinions with us. As you might expect, this has been an issues the we have received quite a large number of comments - both for and against.

    United Dairy Farmers senior level management decided to place these signs in all our stores for primarily one reason - the safety of our employees and our customers. We feel the fewer weapons in our stores the less of a chance of a discharge (whether accidental or intentional). We understand that you may not agree with our decision but we hope you continue to shop in our stores. We sincerely regret the possibility of loosing you as a customer but the overriding factor is and always will be providing the safest environment for our employees and customers.

    If we can be of further assistance, feel free to contact our office.

    Thank you,

So now customers are told the company has a concern with accidental discharges, despite the fact that they have been doing business in Kentucky and Indiana for YEARS without any problems, and despite the fact that they have allowed CHL-holders in Ohio in their stores for the past year without incident.

Why does UDF think Ohioans who are licensed to carry firearms will be less responsible than Kentuckians or Hoosiers?
