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.

It is this arrogance and refusal to work with Ohioans For Concealed Carry that has forced us to seek a remedy through the courts.

Am. Sub. HB12 to be considered by House today


Amended Substitute House Bill 12 has been added to the House calendar for consideration of Senate amendments. The session will be held today, June 19.

UPDATE! The session has been rescheduled for 7:30 p.m. this evening.

The purpose for Tuesday's floor action on Am. Sub. HB12 is to consider and vote on whether or not to concur with Senate amendments. A concurrent vote would send the Senate's version of bill to the governor's desk. A vote against concurrence would send the bill to a conference committee, where differences will be ironed out.

Time is short. Call your Representative NOW and ask them NOT to concur with the Senate's restrictions, which succeed only in making current Ohio law WORSE than it already is.
