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 No Guns Fifth-Third Bank Robbed

Commentary by Larry S. Moore, OFCC Senate District 10 Coordinator:
"Both the Dayton Daily News and WDTN TV-2 Dayton are reporting that a Fifth-Third Bank branch in Centerville, a south Dayton suburb, was robbed at gun point. Both stories report that the perpetrator was carrying a handgun, demanded cash, and apparently fled on foot.
Fifth-Third Bank was one of the first banks to post "no guns" ghost buster (gun buster) signs. While most Dayton area banks do not post, Fifth-Third stubbornly clings to the policy that "no guns" signs protect their customers. Fifth-Third Banks have been the target of many robberies and an unfortunate tragic shooting death in Columbus.
Other news reports earlier this year noted that Fifth-Third's profits continued to decline. OFCC has received many reports that concealed handgun license holders have moved accounts away from Fifth-Third to self-defense friendly banking locations. Clearly leaving Fifth-Third is the only way a customer can be safer. My family has moved our investment accounts from Fifth-Third.
Despite national statistics and over one year of successful ccw in Ohio, Fifth-Third continues to deny the rights of the background checked law abiding Ohio gun owner. Clearly their "gun buster" signs do not stop crime."
In other news, Kroger Co. announced recently that earnings for the first quarter were up 12 percent. OFCC members and supporters will recall the aggressive grassroots campaign that resulted in Kroger removing the discriminatory "no guns" signs from their Ohio stores last year. This action came after the company received receipts totaling thousands of dollars in lost sales to their non-posted competitors. It appears that they made the right decision by allowing law-abiding CHL holders to shop in their stores while armed and they are reaping the rewards.
