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.

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

''No-guns'' Sparkle Market employee beaten, robbed of night deposit

Several OFCC supporters have contacted us about an assault and robbery that occurred last evening as an employee of a "no-guns" grocery walked across the street to make a deposit at a nearby bank*.
From one OhioCCW.org news submission:
- A Sparkle Market worker in Cornersburg (Youngstown), has become the victim of his own employer's policy. At approx. 9:30 pm on Monday, March 7, a Sparkle worker was taking the day's deposit 100 yards across the store parking lot to the Farmers National* bank next door, when, from a wooded area, a masked robber attacked and beat the worker taking more than 15,000 dollars.
Sparkle Supermarkets... [is a criminal protection zone]. It does not take a degree in criminology to deduct that the robber knew the person's routine, and cased his victim. And that he knew with very little doubt that his mark would not be armed.
Another OhioCCW.org news submission read as follows, and in part:
- This is the only "no guns" grocery store in my area. They are unwaivering in their position. There are two of them and I am right between them. It USED to be my default store, but not since posting. They are in a very low crime area of the city. There has been notice in the community, even discussion at our block watch meetings, of the rise in crime at both stores. This one is the most surprising as it is in arguably the lowest crime area of the city.
*NOTE: While reports have come in that certain branches of Farmers Bank are posted, multiple sources have now verified that the one originally described in this story apparently is not.
