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.

Ladies & Gentlemen, the time has come again. House Bill 274 is scheduled for proponent testimony before a special sub-committee of the civil & commercial law committee this Wednesday at 2:30pm in room 313. If the House Session runs beyond 2:30pm the meeting will be immediately after session. Last week's hearing was cancelled due to a rather active session. The Scoop: Please attend this hearing and bring as many people as you can with you. However, we respectfully request that you simply not speak before the committee. Ohioans For Concealed Carry, in a united effort with every other grass roots, Ohio based, gun rights organizations is opposed to various items in the language of House Bill 274. We are making a statement by refusing to speak in support of this legislation until they resolve the problems in the bill. By attending this hearing, sitting in a seat, and simply refusing to speak your "statement" will have more than twice the impact. We intend to dispute the issues of HB274 during opponent testimony and hope you will join us then as well.
