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.

Dayton's WDTN is reporting that "there were some scary moments at a Dayton bus stop Wednesday night as a man was shot while waiting for the bus."

From the story:
    The victim was rushed to Miami Valley Hospital after being shot twice in the stomach. According to police he was just waiting for the bus with his girlfriend and did not know his attackers.

    It happened just after 11 Wednesday night.

    Officers say four people were at the RTA bus stop on West Third near College when two men walked by starting an argument with them. Police say the suspects began making comments about the victim's girlfriend, a fight ensued, and that's when one of the suspects opened fire.

    "One of the suspects pulled out a gun and shot the guy in the stomach twice. The suspects went down College and east on Mercer," said Lt. Robert Mannix.
At last report, all Dayton RTA busses are posted with "no-guns" signs, despite a statement by Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro last year that such signs are not enforceable. As as result, anyone waiting for the bus are being affirmatively rendered defenseless victims.
