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.

Commentary by: Larry S. Moore, OFCC Senate District 10 Coordinator:

WDTN, Channel 2 Dayton, is reporting a Riverside woman called police complaining that her ex-husband threatened to kill her. According to the report he threatened her life and tried to choke her at her home. She used her forearms and elbows to defend herself. Previous attacks and instances of domestic violence have been reported including a May 31 attempt to smother her with pillows. The report quotes Dayton Police Sergeant David Crigler,

It is a sad statement for our society that men continue to prey upon women. It is even sadder that many women resist proper self-defense training, whether personal safety or concealed carry training. OFCC often carries stories about this type of domestic abuse in the hopes that women will take the message and take the appropriate steps for self-protection. Only then will women begin to remove the shroud of fear that many abuse victims must bear and start on the path to self-reliance.

WDTN could have provided a public service if there were a photo of the man or a description of his automobile to help citizens help the police.
