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.

Senate Bill 24 has been assigned to the Criminal Justice Committee. We will provide information on the first hearing for SB24 as it becomes available.

This is a VERY good sign that the Senate intends to move this legislation as soon as the House passes it. Senate Bill 130 was never added to a committee schedule in the last General Assembly, and under Dick Finan's leadership, the Senate only moved on CCW reform after it would be too late for the House to reject changes. This year's Senate President, Doug White, has been quoted as saying that body will be ready to act as soon as the House does, and this scheduling lends clear evidence that he means it.
