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.

Subject: Stolen Gun

Hello-

I had a gun (and some other stuff) stolen out of my car Wednesday at the “no-guns” Alladin Shrine Temple in Columbus.

There was even a cop on scene that saw the guy and gave chase, but lost him. The cop said there had been a few smash and grabs there lately. In addition to my gun, this dirtbag has my home address and my appointment schedule for work.

I’ll be writing the Governor to tell him he’s partly responsible for another illegal gun in the hands of criminals due to the ridiculous “plain sight” provision in the law.

Car break-ins have made news recently across Ohio:
  • Beavercreek Police May have Clue in Recent Car Break-ins
    Another series of car break-ins, and another news story with the police telling people to not leave valuables in our cars. Meanwhile, state law requires CHL-holders to leave their firearm in a case that is visible in many situations.

  • Seventeen car break-ins reported in Newark over weekend
    One of the victims was a judge's wife and another victim had a Bible stolen after the passenger side window was smashed in.
