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.

Today, Ohio's concealed carry law is allowing Ohioans a means of protection. But as we all knew when the law was passed, it is a shadow of the type of legislation that is needed to make the largest impact for the betterment of this state's law-abiding citizens.
There is work to be done:
Although their numbers are dwindling, the gun ban lobby is out there, prowling, ready to protect provisions that currently make our law restrictive and cumbersome for citizens, while doing nothing to prevent crime. Only your action can ensure they are not successful.
