Ohio Bankers League issues one of those transparent decals for their members.
And also the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association does the same.

What those signs really say is "We reserve the right to ask you politely to remove your firearms from the premises if you're scaring the sheep, but we don't want to make a big deal about it because it might hurt our business."

Pretty much.

They say the same thing in Texas. They also reassure the sheeple that it is a gun-free zone without actually making it a gun-free zone.

Hence reinforcing some of my less-than-flattering thoughts of bankers and car dealers. Trying to deceive customers before they've set foot inside the places.

Yeah, that was why my comment about places that want it both ways.

I was a contactor on this site and can say for sure that the door on the corner of the building was a brand new door, so the stickers were not from an prior Tennant....I meet the owner/manager several times and he seemed like a good guy... Good for him for taking them down! I can also say FOR A FACT that there cupcakes are awesome.... He brought in a variety every week for the crew! Mmmmm

For the OP, congrats on the accomplishment! If you don't mind, I'm going to save the letter as a guide. It was short, concise, professional, factual, and never degrading. Perfect!

Agreed. Good work! I like the part of the note that said the most important statistic was the $22 the business didn't get today. I also really liked the response from the owner - they come down before we open tomorrow. Sounds like an owner that's on the ball. Kind of makes me wonder how the sign got up in the first place.

Perhaps someone put them up on behalf of the owner (store mgr, etc.) as part of a final prep before opening. Perhaps the owner saw the stats (these are law abiding people that spend money) - Don't know --- but like the end result.

No problem, that's why I shared it.

I sent a note to the owner with some pictures of my first purchase there, but he never replied. I'm not sure he's an ally but damn is their popcorn great!

Don't the signs have to be conspicuous? What's the law on that?

The sign must be in a conspicuous location; there is a slight difference between that and the sign being conspicuous.
