Speedway is essentially the same type of store, except no hand-dipped ice cream and no gun ban. A few years back, someone on the Ohioans for Concealed Carry forums did a search for Gun Crime at UDF stores in publicly-available Columbus, Ohio police reports, Turned up a bunch. A few days later, I suggested running the same report for Speedway. They modified the search, using the same start date "to now" (so it was a few days longer than the UDF search) showed fewer total gun crimes reported. Speedway has more locations in Columbus. If I did the math right, UDF had almost 70% more gun crime per store. It couldn't be the signs, it must be that UDF's ice cream attracts robbers...

It couldn’t be the signs, it must be that UDF’s ice cream attracts robbers…
