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

Another Woman Is Victimized

Comments by Larry S. Moore, OFCC Senate District 10 Coordinator:
WDTN, TV 2, Dayton, is reporting a Dayton woman was abducted and raped. It happened Monday.
WDTN reports:
- "Dayton Police Detectives believe he kidnapped a woman in Dayton then drove her to a Moraine motel and raped her.
The woman is a caregiver and was getting out of her car on Rustic Road in Dayton when she was abducted. Police told 2News ex-boyfriend, who's been stalking her, drove up and kidnapped her."
Additionally on June 27, 2005 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that police couldn't be sued for how they enforce restraining orders. The Supreme Court ruling was the result of a Colorado case where an ex-husband kidnapped the couple's three children and killed them. The mother, Jessica Gonzales, sued claiming the police did not properly respond to calls and enforce the restraining order. The Supreme Court ruled that Ms. Gonzales did not have a constitutional right to police enforcement of the court order against her ex-husband. This appears to be consistent with previous Supreme Court decisions, which ruled that the police do not have an obligation to protect individual citizens, only society as a whole.
How many attacks, rapes, deaths, and Supreme Court rulings will it take before citizens understand the basic concept of self-defense? "Self-defense" is only two words - self and defense. Increasingly with law enforcement agencies short handed and short of budget, protection (defense) must come from only one source - self.
If you and your family are not prepared, not taken classes such as Refuse To Be A Victim, and not prepared by getting your Concealed Handgun License (CHL), then you are relying on others who have no obligation to protect you. If you've taken those steps, but still put off carrying for protection, until you "feel the need", your name could be in the next news report as the victim.
