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.

It is this arrogance and refusal to work with Ohioans For Concealed Carry that has forced us to seek a remedy through the courts.

John Appleton of The Republican wrote an interesting article about the Holyoke Revolver Club, a club for kids 10-20 that teaches firearms safety and participates in shooting competitions.
"Since 1914 there have been no injuries," program director Norm Desilets said. "We are in a sport which is the safest sport in the country."We applaud efforts by individuals like Desilets, who dedicate themselves to introducing the new generation to the fun and comraderie that the shooting sports offer.
"We started this to give these kids something to do and to get them off the streets. We teach them safety and the proper handling of firearms, specifically rifles," Desilets said.
"Some of the kids' parents have mentioned to me that since joining the team, their kids have developed better respect for other people," he said. "Some have also improved their grades in school. If you goof off in school, you are out."
