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.

Keep this story in mind as the trial of Case Western Reserve shooter Biswanath Halder gets under way in Cleveland. Keep this story in mind as you, or your son or daughter enters an Ohio campus victim zone today.

The (Webster State University) Signpost is reporting that Students for the Second Amendment is offering a class at WSU for the Utah concealed carry weapon permit. Craig Ball from Impact Guns will teach the three-hour class in the Shepherd Union Building Lair on Monday from 7 to 10 p.m. The class costs $25 for students who belong to the Second Amendment Club and $65 for nonmembers. From the story:
    Guns are not new to the Weber State University campus, according to Students for the Second Amendment Club staff adviser Nickie Wagner.

    "There are more people carrying guns on campus than you are aware of," Wagner said. "I know personally 15 people."

    People have different reasons why they carry guns on campus, Wagner said.

    "It varies from person to person," she said. "A lot of us feel like it is our right as American citizens. Some of us aren't going to be a victim again -- and I say this from personal experience -- so some carry weapons."
The University of Utah had a ban on campus firearms that was overturned last fall by the state Supreme Court. University officials argued before the state Legislature last summer that some students lacked maturity and faced stressful situations, so they shouldn't have access to such weapons.

However, the report says WSU Interim Police Chief Capt. Dane LeBlanc has said in previous interviews that WSU's campus violent crime rate is among the lowest in the nation. Nor have there been problems with WSU students violating concealed weapons laws.

"We haven't had anything involving a gun on this campus as long as I can remember," LeBlanc told The Signpost.
