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.

Dayton's WHIO-TV (NewsCenter 7) is reporting that a prominent downtown businessman wants the city to take action immediately when it comes to all of the downtown problems that have occurred recently.

Acccording to the report, Sandy Mendelson appeared at the city commission meeting Wednesday morning to talk about his concerns. He said he is concerned about the recent rash of violence and said he wonders how much longer he will remain downtown.

From the story:

    His business stretches for five city blocks and is located near the baseball stadium. Mendelson's business has been there for 43 years.

    He told city commissioners that they need to clean up the mess downtown and told them it needs to be done now – not a year from now.

    NewsCenter 7 has been reporting that there has been crime and violence downtown that has involved young people. The area that has mostly been affected is around Third and Main and Fourth and Main streets.

    The most recent incident was a near riot, according to the city manager, and it took more than 20 officers to get control of the situation.

    Mendelson said a lot is at stake if the city does not take action immediately. He said people are scared to come downtown, which would affect his business and others.
If Mendelson is so concerned about his customers' well-being, we have to wonder why he denies them their constitutional right to bear arms for self-defense when visiting his store. You see, Mr. Mendelson posts discriminatory "no-guns" signs banning CHL-holders from his property.

Concerned citizens may contact Sandy Mendelson at:

Mendelson's Electronics & Liquidation Outlet
340 East First Street, Dayton

Contact information for other dangerous locations in Dayton and across the state is available in OFCC's Do Not Patronize While Armed database.
