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.
Our press release follows.
Canton PD Event Leads to New OFCC Legislation When officer Harless of the Canton, Ohio police department came upon a vehicle stopped in the roadway most of us were focused on getting restaurant carry legislation signed into law. What took place that evening has become an international viral video, calls for the resignation of the City Council president, and criminal charges against a man who is clearly heard trying to state that he has a license. Ohioans For Concealed Carry has not just raised thousands of dollars in a legal defense fund, but we've written legislation to resolve this matter that Representative Danny Bubp has stated he's going to introduce this fall

Robbery suspect shot several rounds into ceiling before getting away with woman's purse

Quite a scare for people at a West Toledo restaurant Sunday night. Toledo police say just before 8 p.m., an armed gunman walked into Jalapeno's at 519 N. Reynolds, shot a couple rounds in the ceiling and ordered everyone to the floor. Police tell us the gunman got away with a woman's purse, but they say someone may have found it later on Reynolds near Dorr.

Officers say no one was injured in the incident.

Commentary:
Aside from questions of extraordinary liability, how will restaurant owners feel the first time a criminal ignores a sign banning CHL-holders (or is in fact drawn to it) aware that his intended victims are unarmed?

How many Dr. Suzanna Gratia-Hupp's will it take to get these restauranteurs (or the lawyers advising them) to wake up? Suzanna - now a Texas State Representative - was forced to watch her parents lives be taken -along with 21 others - in the Luby's Restaurant rampage shooting in Kileen, TX because she was required by law to leave her firearm in her car.

The following restaurants have announced that they plan to post discriminatory signs and render their patrons defenseless against attacks like that at Jalapeno's or Luby's:

  • Country Diners Restaurants (Akron, Kent, & Alliance stores owned by Ed Davidian)
  • Quizno's Classic Subs, 121 Westerville Plaza, Columbus
  • Golden Nuggets Restaurants, Dayton (two stores, owned by family of Stacey Thomas)
  • Frisch's Inc. franchises statewide (Big Boy, Golden Corral, Frisch's)
  • Waffle House (all Dayton stores - and possibly all in Ohio??)
