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.
Ohioans For Concealed Carry has not just raised thousands of dollars in a legal defense fund, but we've written legislation to resolve this matter that Representative Danny Bubp has stated he's going to introduce this fall

Pizza Delivery Driver Robbed At Gun Point

Dayton's whiotv.com is reporting that last week two men robbed a Papa John's Pizza delivery driver at gun point. The robbers got away with $22, a cell phone and the food.
Unfortunately for this driver and most others that make their living delivering pizzas, company policies prohibit them from arming themselves for self defense while working. In fact, there have been instances where drivers have been fired for trying to protect themselves while on the job.
Comments from OFCC Senate District 10 Coordinator Larry Moore:
"As I recall Papa Johns prohibits their drivers from carrying - even with a CHL. Another instance of employer sponsored CPZ. And another huge reason that many pizza delivery drivers are considering unionization.
Most everyone knows that all the major pizza makers prohibit their drivers from being armed and that the companies do not provide any security for their drivers. Just make a phone call and you can get supper and your target right to your door! Or simply follow the little signs on the top of their cars until they leave a delivery.
Selecting the victims for robbery is so much easier when the victim is almost certainly unarmed and a little light identifies the target. There simply is not enough money in pizza delivery to risk getting shot or killed."
Several pizzerias are listed in the Do Not Patronize While Armed Database including, Papa John's, Marco's Pizza, Pizza Hut and more. There are also several pizza places and other restaurants that are automatic victim zones due to state law.
Businesses in Ohio that voluntarily disarm their employees and customers should be held 100% liable for the resulting trauma, injuries or loss of life that may result.
