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.

House Bill 12 receives sixth hearing in Senate committee

- Written by Jeff Garvas
A representative from Ohioans For Concealed Carry was on hand today at the Statehouse, as HB12 received it's sixth hearing in the Senate Committee on Criminal Justice.
Out of respect for the desires expressed by members of the committee to bring the public testimony to a close and moving the bill forward, instead of debating indefinately, Ohioans For Concealed Carry did not invite anyone to testify. Another "interested party" hearing, scheduled for tomorrow, has been cancelled.
A short summary of today's hearing may be accessed by clicking on the "Read More..." link below.
Two more women offered proponent written testimony today. Testimony was submitted by Maria Heil, a representative from the Second Amendment Sisters, and Ohio citizen Linda Lower. All told, Senators have heard from more than ten pro-self-defense women in committee hearings.
As was the case last week, testimony was offered by what Senator Fedor describes as pro-gun "purist" witnesses, telling Senators that they oppose certain components of House Bill 12. The same misunderstandings about rumored requirements for mandatory fingerprints in HB12 were again expressed.
OFCC reps met with Chairman Austria after the hearing and discussed the timing of the bill. More information will be provided when available.
