Got a reply from SA/Speedy/SuperAmerica
Here is the full text of SA's reply with my original letter at the bottom :
October 21, 2010
Dear Mr. Brody,
This is an acknowledgement of your E-mail with regard to our company
firearms policy. While Speedway SuperAmerica respects your right to bare
arms we must also comply with Ohio Law. Speedway SuperAmerica does not
prohibit customers from legally carrying concealed weapons in our stores
that do not possess a "D Permit" liquor license.
We currently have 10 stores located in Ohio that do have "D Permits".
Concealed firearms are banned by law in premises for which a D permit
has been issued.
Thank you for taking the time to write us. We are always interested in
hearing from our customers whatever the reason.
Sincerely,
Linda
Speedway SuperAmerica LLC Customer Service

Comments: I have purchased fuel and misc at many SA stations in the
past but never noticed the "No Guns or dangerous weapons allowed" sign.
Since I carry 100% of the time, I find that I can no longer do business
with your stores. This is certainly not a hardship on me (or you, I'm
sure) as there is usually a Holiday or BP on the opposing corner.
One day I overheard some wicked looking thugs who were about to go
into an SA station but they stopped short and said, "Looks like we've
got to go across the street and rob the Lowes store instead 'cause this
SA station doesn't allow guns on their property. How can we rob this
place if we can't have a gun inside?" So... I guess your policy really
works well.
Carlton B.
