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.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has a brief article about yesterday's sponsor testimony by Rep. Bill Seitz.

Seitz spoke before the committee on behalf of Rep. Aslanides, who could not make the hearing due to a serious family illness. We wish Rep. Aslanides family well, and congratulate Rep. Seitz on a job well done with such short notice to prepare.

It should be noted that the Ohio Senate is trying to take advantage of the State of Ohio's appeal in regard to our lawsuit in Hamilton County. The theory is that, even though two courts have declared this law unconstitutional, and the Ohio Supreme Court has refused to issue an emergency stay in the matter, the Ohio Senate will continue to delay progress on this legislation until the court moves on this issue. Assuming the Ohio Supreme Court even decides to hear this case, it is conceivable that they wouldn't rule on it until well into 2003. In the still-pending school funding issue the Supreme Court first heard of the case in 1995, more than seven years ago. It's time for us to call our Senators and tell them to stop stalling.
