The DNPWA Datbase is not a boycott. This system is intended to create a database of businesses in Ohio that have created a "CPZ" (Criminal Protection Zone) by posting a sign that prohibits concealed handgun licensees from entering their premises.

This system is only as successful as the contributions it receives from people like you. Make sure you go a step further and send the business a copy of What Business Owners Need To Know (Adobe PDF file. Free Adobe Reader available here )and have a stack of "No Guns = No Money" cards ready to hand out when you encounter a misguided business. A number of business owners don't realize that people are avoiding their establishments, and many still think the sign only impacts "criminals" and not you!

This new version of the DNPWA supports photography. Please take pictures of CPZs and submit them with your entries.

To get the most out of the DNPWA list use the search function and choose the advanced feature so that you can search by city, county, or Class D permit status. To request a removal or to report a site has become a Safe Alternative, use the Contact Us form and choose DNPWA Removals in the pull down.
