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.

Dayton: Gun seized at Dunbar High
A 14-year-old boy was arrested Thursday morning on a charge that he brought a .380-caliber semiautomatic handgun to Dunbar High School, a Dayton City Schools official said.
The ninth-grader was in the Family Court Center pending a delinquency charge of carrying a concealed weapon, Dayton police Sgt. Dennis Chaney said.
It was the school district's fifth incident involving a student bringing a firearm to a school and Dunbar's first, said Ben Kirby, executive director of safety and security for Dayton Public Schools.
Police were called to the school at 2222 Richley Ave. about 8:30 a.m. after someone notified the assistant principal about the weapon, Kirby said. The assistant principal found the firearm in the 14-year-old's locker.
Chaney said the handgun was loaded at some point while in the school building, but was unloaded when police seized it.
Kirby said school officials are trying to determine how the student got the firearm past the school's metal detectors.
"I don't believe that he went through the metal detectors," Chaney said.
Cincinnati: Man found shot to death on park bench near school
A man was found shot to death in a park behind a Catholic elementary school Thursday morning.
Cincinnati police investigators identified the man, but did not release his name because they were working to notify his relatives.
A bus driver taking children on a field trip from St. Agnes School to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden called 911 just before 9 a.m.
She said a man had stopped her and told her a man slumped on a bench near the playground equipment appeared to be dead. A police officer responded and confirmed the man was fatally shot in the head.
The children were attending a Head Start program at the school. They did not see the man, nor did they know anything about the killing, said Donna Marsh, spokeswoman for the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency, which operates Head Start locally.
It was the second time in a month that violence has hit near a Head Start facility.
