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.

A bill introduced in Florida would make it illegal for employers to bar employees from protecting themselves with their legally owned firearms while on the job.
As we reported last week, employee safety on the job is a growing concern as case after case surfaces where employers were unable to stop violent attacks upon their employees.
This new bill, introduced by two state lawmakers and backed by the NRA, would make sure those employees have the option to do what their employer cannot... provide for their own safety.

The Orlando Sentininel has an article detailing the proposed changes.
The biggest issue at state is the right to personal protection vs. property owners rights. This debate played out on the national stage when Oklahoma passed a similar law that quickly drew fire from two major corporations who are suing to have it overturned.
Meanwhile, Florida continues to be a beacon for gun rights. Consideration of this bill follows on the heels of recent legislation removing the requirement to always flee in the face of an attack. Florida residents may now legally stand their ground if attacked in any place they have a legal right to be.
S206, if passed, would prevent any business from banning firearms in their parking lots. This would keep them from stripping the constitutional rights of employees and customers alike.
