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.

Columbus Dispatch
I respond to the March 19 Dispatch editorial "Zero tolerance." I had to check the masthead to make sure I was reading The Dispatch. It was there in black and white: an editorial with a favorable reference to the National Rifle Association.
The message quoted in the editorial was taken from the NRAs Eddie Eagle firearms safety training program. Many schools, however, dont (or wont) take advantage of this program. Is it really any wonder then that "curious children only 6 and 7 years old," brought up on a steady diet of shoot-em-up TV, movies and video games, sometimes bring their guns to school?
If The Dispatch advocates "zero tolerance" for these children, then shouldnt it take the same stance for adults?
I suggest taking a survey of local schools to identify those that have firearms-safety training programs in their curricula. If a principal hasnt included such training, then remove him or her for one year. Of course, retain the appeals process "so special consideration can be given in cases that warrant it."
