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.

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland presented the Ohio Cross award to Staff. Sgt. Robert Bragg during a ceremony at the Springfield Ohio Air National Guard base on April 6, 2008. This is the highest honor awarded by the Ohio Air National Guard. The Ohio Cross may be awarded to any member of the State of Ohio military forces (National Guard or Reserves) who distinguishes himself/herself by gallantry and selfless service at the risk of his/her life. The Ohio Cross is the only award that must be presented by the Governor or the Adjutant General, in the name of the Governor.

According to an article in the Dayton Daily News, Staff Sgt. Bragg was sitting on his porch in Dayton last August when he heard shots fired and saw two men in ski masks emerge from the Covault Market and Coin Laundry. Armed with his personal 9mm handgun, he forced one of the men to surrender.

Staff Sgt. Bragg who graduated in 2001 from Tecumseh High School and is now a senior at Wright State University still lives in the same location. Every time he looks down that end of the street he is reminded of the incident where two men, Roger Covault, 70, and Robert T. Harris, 53, were shot and killed.

Staff Sgt. Robert Bragg deserves our respect for his actions on the street, and our thanks for his service in the Ohio Air National Guard. The world is a safer place because of him.
