OFCC Sues City of Cleveland Heights, Ohio The sign you see here is posted in Cleveland Heights Parks implying possession of a firearm is a crime. On Friday August 12th, 2011 Ohioans For Concealed Carry Filed a lawsuit against the City the City of Cleveland Heights. The litigation comes after many attempts to resolve concerns over laws that Cleveland Heights not only allowed to remain on their books, but also posted signs at their parks that continue to imply it is illegal to be armed. The City of Cleveland Heights has chosen to ignore our attempts at civil discourse. When individuals have contacted them representing themselves as residents of the City of Cleveland Heights their concerns apparently fell on deaf ears. When representatives of the organization have formally contacted the city's legal representation they've been laughed at and hung up on by the Law Director. It is this arrogance and refusal to work with Ohioans For Concealed Carry that has forced us to seek a remedy through the courts.

UPI: Suspect in university shootings had ''automatic'' weapon

Details surrounding the tragic shootings at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland Friday are still sketchy. Not much known about the criminal, his motives, or even the weapon he used (some reports suggest he had an "automatic" (and thus illegal) rifle). Thus, it much too early to provide a detailed analysis of this terrible act (sadly, history warns this won't stop anti-gun extremists from rushing to exploit the event).

But since many will be interested in reading more about the subject, we'd like to recommend a new book, Dr. John Lott Jr.'s The Bias Against Guns, which among other things, presents the first-ever look at how CCW laws affect multiple-victim public shootings.

According to Lott's research with William M. Landes, "states without right-to-carry laws had more deaths and injuries from multiple victim public shootings per year [both in absolute numbers and on a per capita basis] during the 1977 to 1997 period. States without right-to-carry laws account for the large majority (often around 90 percent) of deaths and injuries."

A limited number of AUTOGRAPHED copies of Lott's new book are available in the OFCC Store. Click here for more information.
