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.

Police Suspect String Of UC Robberies Related
Ohio law bans firearms on college campuses, preventing students their right to self-defense
Two suspects are in police custody in connection with a robbery on the University of Cincinnati's Clifton campus. Both Cincinnati and UC campus police are trying to determine whether a string of robberies near the campus are related. Police say on Tuesday morning a woman was robbed by Solomon Burson, the suspect, in Sander parking lot on the east side of the campus. Along with a 17-year-old accomplice, police say Burson attacked her and took her bag. Similar attacks have happened near Dyer Hall and the former Hardees restaurant site. Police are investigating whether Burson is linked to those attacks. Students receive e-mail alerts after campus crimes are reported and the situation is making many people nervous. "This week especially we've had three e-mails sent out to us," said Amanda Goldsmith, a freshman at UC, "it's kind of disturbing because we're out late at night. We're always walking -- you kinda know that you cannot be by yourself."
