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

Follow up: Phoenix Rescuers Not Giving Up Armed Escorts

The Arizona Republic is reporting that the Phoenix Fire Department is sticking to its guns, so to speak.
The department informed FEMA in an official letter that their rescuers will continue to be accompanied by armed police officers while on operations deemed hazardous to their safety.
So far, FEMA's response is that "a series of judgment errors" by Phoenix's team leaders "put that team, other teams and the victims they were rescuing at unnecessary risk."
I think we should all be concerned about a federal agency that has such a huge bias against second amendment rights.

As we've reported previously, the entire Gulf region affected by Katrina, but particularly in Louisiana, was a dangerous environment. There were reports of looters taking shots at rescue workers and widespread pillaging.
If there was ever a place where rescue workers needed to be protected, it was in the aftermath of that hurricane. For FEMA to defy all logic by not only refusing to allow the rescue workers to be armed, but also suspending them after the fact for being accompanied by police officers, is a serious transgression that cannot be ignored.
Consider this the test, folks. Let this one slide, and the illegal denial of the right to self protection will spread like a cancer wherever corrupt and misguided officials hold power over the huddled masses.
Demand action by the federal government. FEMA is out of control and must be brought back in line. Not only should there have been no problem with police escorts, but the rescuers themselves should have the option of legally arming themselves in order to ensure their own safety. Asking anything less is a serious affront to our rights and freedoms.
