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.

Ohioans For Concealed Carry has learned that, as we expected, the Ohio Senate has assigned HB12 to Senator Steve Austria's Judiciary Committee on Criminal Justice. (click for list of members)

JCR hearings take place on Wednesday mornings at 9:00am. It has not been made clear yet if the Senate will simply address this bill in committee, or if they intend to create a sub-committee. If that is the case, meeting times will obviously be very different.

Ohioans For Concealed Carry encourages you to look at the list of committee members, and then determine if YOUR Senator is on the committee. If so, you should promptly call your Senator and inform them of your position on HB12. Everyone should use the tools on our website (upper right hand corner) to email their Senator (and Represenative, this bill will likely go back to the House) about House Bill 12 support.

OFCC representatives have been meeting with lawmakers in the Senate this week, and will continue to do so, in an effort to make sure our concerns about HB12 are being considered. Your assistance in contacting your lawmakers is extremely helpful in our efforts.
