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.

Store Clerk Fights Back

Last week, an Akron store clerk fought back when three suspects tried to rob the Delia Street Market. At least one of the suspects was observed on video brandishing a gun and threatening customers and employees.

The clerk retrieved his own firearm and fired on the suspects, hitting one and sending all three running.

Instead of praising the clerk for his quick thinking and defense of himself and the other innocent victims present, NewsNet5 simply concluded, "Police said they don't encourage anyone to take the law into their own hands."

Last time I checked, defending yourself against a violent, armed attack isn't taking the law into your own hands. NewsNet5 should be ashamed of themselves for letting their own bias show through and taint the accomplishment of this brave store clerk who took the steps necessary to ensure the safety of himself and his fellow law-abiding citizens. To him I say, well done, sir. Well done indeed.
