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.

What took place that evening has become an international viral video, calls for the resignation of the City Council president, and criminal charges against a man who is clearly heard trying to state that he has a license. Ohioans For Concealed Carry has not just raised thousands of dollars in a legal defense fund, but we've written legislation to resolve this matter that Representative Danny Bubp has stated he's going to introduce this fall Read the Full Story

I just submitted a CPZ notification form for Scotts Lawn Service. [I was informed] this is a corporate policy and the sign are at all Ohio stores, not just the one in West Chester.

When I went in, I had already written a personal check for $500.88 to them to treat my lawn this year. After seeing the sign I asked to see the manager and told him of my objections to his sign. He gave me a half-baked canned answer about protecting the employees and customers. I then tore up the check in front of him and handed it back to him in pieces and told him I don't do business with places who disrespect my right to protect myself.

I also gave him a No Guns/No Dollars business card.

I hope the incident makes it way back to Marysville corporate headquarters in their next manager's meeting. I am going to fill out a feedback form on ScottsÂ’ web site.
