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 Ironton Tribune is reporting an armed robbery of a Lawrence Federal Savings and Loan in South Point, Ohio, a community of less than 5,000 in population. This is the second robbery at this bank in the past four years.
"Someone made a withdrawal at the Lawrence Federal Savings Bank Thursday morning but he didn't use his checkbook.All three of Lawrence Federal's banks are posted with the discriminatory "No Guns" sign at all of their entrances.
A lone gunman walked into the Solida Road bank in South Point at approximately 10:30 a.m. and walked away with an undetermined amount of money."
It is also appropriate to mention that of the other banks in Lawrence County, only Lawrence Federal branches posts "No Guns" signs denying their customers right of self-defense. All of Lawrence Federal's locations are listed in the "Do Not Patronize While Armed" database as a criminal protection zone.
When will these businesses realize no matter how large or small a community is, they're still vulnerable to the exact danger of big cities?
