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.

The Dayton Daily News is reporting that police have put out a bulletin to all area police agencies concerning a reported carjacking and potential kidnapping that occurred following a purse-snatching outside a "no-guns" victim zone in Dayton.

From the story:
    Police fear a driver could have been carjacked Wednesday night by an armed purse snatcher.

    The incident began shortly after 9:40 p.m. Police were dispatched to Dot's Market, 2274 Patterson Road, on a report that a woman's purse was snatched as she walked out of the store.

    Two clerks tried to pursue the suspect, but relented when he told them he had a gun. The white male suspect then ran around the store toward Rembrandt Boulevard and entered a maroon or purple Chevy Lumina with temporary tag number J442102. Witnesses say they saw the purse snatcher put an object to the driver's head and tell him to drive.

According to the "no-guns" sign posted on the door of Dot's, owner Rob Bernhard is still misleading customers by telling them his discriminatory signs are required because he has a Class D liquor license(Click here to view the signage). Of course, the question of whether groceries had to ban concealed handgun license-holders was settled long ago, and OFCC can report that Mr. Bernhard has been so informed.

Contact information for Dot's Market and other dangerous locations is available on OFCC's Do Not Patronize While Armed database.
