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 Brown County People's Defender is reporting that on Feb. 1, at approximately 1:30 p.m., an elderly woman carrying a moneybag from the Fifth Third Bank in Peebles was assaulted and the moneybag stolen.

The thief was described in the newspaper as a tall, thin man with black hair, facial stubble, wearing a navy blue, nylon hooded jacket with white pin stripes down the sleeve, tan jeans and white shoes with red soles. The man fled on foot down Elm Street toward Fifth and Fourth streets and the railroad tracks.

Despite the fact that there were several witnesses, the newspaper says no arrest have been made.

The newspaper makes no mention of the fact that Fifth Third bank affirmatively disarms its customers, and advertises their defenselessness to criminals, by posting "no-guns" signs.
