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.

From a newsroom which has become infamous for left-wing hackjob reporting (the fraudulent Rathergate memos being Exhibit #1) comes a surprisingly balanced look at the battle over parking lot bans in America, and how one man's life has been affected by a business who denies its employees their Constitutional rights.
- When gun and corporate cultures clashed in southeast Oklahoma, Jimmy Wyatt got caught in the crossfire.
"I've had it for over 20 years ... They're very much a part of life," says Wyatt of his guns. "We all carry them."
But in 2002, as CBS News Correspondent Bill Whitaker reports, a surprise sweep of the parking lot found Wyatt and 11 other employees of paper giant Weyerhauser had guns locked in their vehicles, a violation of a new corporate policy. They all said they didn't know the policy had changed. They were fired almost on the spot.
"They done me wrong," says Wyatt of his employer. "Ruined my life, basically."
"I have a wife and five kids. I'm nearly on food stamps. My one girl just had to drop out of college. I'm nearly on food stamps."
