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.

Many people simply don't know how our form of Government works, and one of the most rewarding aspects of volunteering for Ohioans For Concealed Carry is discovering how things tick. When votes are recorded and displayed on the big wall in the House, nothing is written in stone immediately. Ohioans For Concealed Carry has learned that HB12 did actually pass the Ohio Senate by 22-10. But what about the House vote on Senate Amendments?

It failed by 94-5, not 83-5. Apparently during the vote numerous House members were busy off the floor working on budget related matters. When they returned, the remainder of them voted against accepting the Senate Amendments, resulting in a resounding 94-5 result.

We have acquired official copies of The Senate vote record on amended HB12 and The House vote record on the Senate Amendments.

Every single member of the Ohio House voted to reject the Senate Amendments, excluding these five Representatives:

D-32 Barrett (voted against House HB12 initially)
D-65 Harwood (voted for House HB12 initially)
D-40 Strahorn (voted against House HB12 initially)
D-31 Driehaus (n/a)
D-26 Price (voted against House HB12 initially)
