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.

Tri-State area women seeking self-defense training, licenses to carry

Channel Cincinnati is reporting that women in the tri-state area are becoming proactive in their own self-defense, seeking training and obtaining licenses to carry concealed handguns.
From the story:
HAMILTON, Ohio -- Sheriff's offices around the Tri-State are fielding the demand for self-defense instruction in the wake of a double sexual assault over the weekend.The more the news media covers assaults, attacks, and rapes, the more likely society is to seek some means of expanding their self-defense options. In a post 9/11 world more than 70 percent of Americans polled by Zobgy indicated they feel citizens should have access to firearms for self-defense.
Two workers were attacked inside a model home in a new subdivision, so other suburban women have been preparing themselves should they face the same situation.
"It...probably took a little bit of my sense of security away, and I didn't even realize it was something I should be aware of each and every time I go out to the public," Cheryl Suding said.
She's one of a group of women who attended a self-defense class in Butler County on Thursday.
From the same story:
"I'm a concealed carry permit holder," Christine Geisen said. "I've been mentally preparing. I've taken some classes. This incident definitely rattled me. I'm just not going to be a victim."Refuse To Be A Victim isn't just a great course created by the NRA, its an excellent motto and mindset to live by.
