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.

The Akron Beacon Journal is reporting that Akron police are searching for two men who abducted an elderly man at gunpoint from the parking lot of a "no-guns" business, robbed him and forced him to drive them to Canton on Wednesday.

According to the story, the men approached the man from behind around 6 p.m. in the parking lot of the Acme grocery at 2905 Whipple Ave.

The newspaper says they stopped at a gas station, and one of the suspects started driving before striking a car in the 1200 block of 17th Street Northeast near Rowland Avenue. The suspects then fled on foot, according to Jackson police.

Police told the Beacon Journal the victim suffered a minor cut to his face after being struck with the gun.

Last spring, ACME Fresh Market (& Pharmacy) in NE Ohio began telling concerned customers that they "believe that carrying weapons into our stores - even for individual licensed by the State - would create an unsafe environment."

No word whether they meant unsafe for kidnappers, or for the elderly customer.
