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.

Is this a joke?
We certainly did a double-take when we saw the Cleveland Plain Dealer editorializing that "Congress must give consumers the ability to protect their personal information, no matter who happens to possess it..."
It is difficult to reconcile this statement with the Plain Dealer's repeated abuse of the Media Access Loophole by publishing the private, personal information of consumers who obtain Ohio Concealed Handgun Licenses, just because they can.
"It's your personal information, but you don't control it" the Plain Dealer says. Well, according to the Ohio General Assembly, one's status as a CHL-holder is indeed personal information, but thanks to anti-gun entities like this newspaper, we definitely don't control it.
Following is are a few lines from the editorial, with only the words in [brackets] substituted:
- "[CHL-holders] should be allowed to put freezes on their files, and to easily review and correct mistakes, as they can do with credit records. [News media and sheriffs] with sloppy security practices should face hefty fines.
Congress should approach the data collection industry with this goal in mind: [CHL-holders] should be far more aware of the information in their files than the enterprising thieves trying to prey on them.
