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.

Chief of Police
City of Gahanna, Ohio
Contrary to what the nay sayers predicted, our streets have not run red with blood shed by those who have chosen to legally carry concealed weapons. In fact there was at least one situation where an armed citizen was needed but not available. It was Thursday, January 6, 2005 when Daryl M. Lawrence entered the 5/3 Bank located on McNaughten and Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio. Lawrence, already an accomplished bank robber and soon to be cop killer engaged Officer Bryan Hurst, but not before sustaining wounds from the officer who died at the scene. Lawrence was arrested by Columbus officers three days after the shooting.
