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.

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 Read the Full Story

NEWTOWN, Conn. -- A full-page advertisement in today's Chicago Tribune is designed to raise awareness about major programs sponsored by members of the firearms industry and how they promote safe and responsible firearms ownership and storage to America's more than 80 million gun owners.

Sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the advertisement reads, "Learn What's Being Done About Gun Safety" and highlights NSSF's Project ChildSafe, First Shots and Don't Lie for the Other Guy programs and their Web sites.

"It's important that all Americans understand how members of the firearms industry are working to encourage the safe and responsible use and storage of their products through NSSF's nationally recognized programs," said Stephen L. Sanetti, president of NSSF. "Chicago is the first of a number of major cities where NSSF will run this educational ad and where we also will bring our industry's safety programs such as Project ChildSafe, First Shots and Don't Lie for the Other Guy to demonstrate our industry members' commitment to safe firearms ownership and storage."

Project ChildSafe promotes safe storage of firearms to help prevent accidents, particularly among children, and has distributed 35 million gun lock safety kits and safety education materials. Over 1,000,000 firearm safety kits have been distributed in Illinois alone and gun owners can receive a free firearm safety kit from many local law enforcement departments. Project ChildSafe's Web site is www.projectchildsafe.org.

First Shots provides an introduction to safe handgun ownership for first-time shooters through education and training seminars and supervised live-fire instruction at shooting ranges across the country. Three First Shots seminars are scheduled in the greater Chicago area on Saturday, Feb. 7, with others to follow. Find a First Shots seminar at www.firstshots.org.

NSSF's Don't Lie for the Other Guy assists the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with educating federally-licensed firearms retailers about how to better detect and prevent illegal firearms purchases, thereby helping to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Don't Lie for the Other Guy will also bring its message of "Buy a gun for someone who can't and buy yourself 10 years in jail" to Chicago in March.
