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.

WDTN: "Gun Advocates Wish to Carry Weapons on RTA Buses"

OFCC's Senate Disctrict 10 Coordinator Larry S. Moore participated in an on-camera interview with Dayton's WDTN last Friday. A short summary of the news report is available on the news channel's website.
- After a violent downtown riot you saw first on 2 -- gun advocates think it's time to let RTA passengers to protect themselves.
Larry Moore, a representative for Ohioans for Concealed Carry, says gun owners should be able to carry weapons on RTA buses. He says he's prepared to take the battle to court. Ohio law clearly provides Government buildings are posted but not public places and I believe the bus is a public place not a building. It might take a court case to prove that.
Some people we talked to last night say allowing bus passengers to carry guns may only lead to more problems downtown.
In an email response to a CCW advocate in April 2004, Sen. Gardner's office said the following:
"The AG's office is under the belief that public busses are not exempted and that local ordinances can't override state law."
