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.

This probably wasn't what they were hoping for.

A group of gun ban extremists by the name of "Women Against Gun Violence" have posted a web poll asking visitors "Should civilians be allowed to carry concealed weapons?"

The website promotes its guiding principles to be:

  1. We have the right to be free from gun violence in our homes, streets, schools, places of work and communities.
  2. The presence and availability of firearms pose a significant threat to the safety of our communities.
  3. Gun violence is a critical public health, safety, social and economic issue costing thousands of lives and billions of dollars every year.
  4. To prevent gun violence, access to and availability of handguns, assault weapons and ammunition must be reduced.
  5. Safety mechanisms must be maximized on guns that are produced and sold and consumer product safety laws must apply equally to firearms.
Is their message getting out? Must we reduce the availablity of guns to law-abiding citzens? Must we try to circumvent to Constitution by classifying gun violence as a public health issue, thereby allowing unelected, anti-gun CDC bureaucrats to endorce gun control policies on America? Is the presence of guns what is threatening our communities? Can we ever be "gun free"?

The WAGs' own readers don't think so:
