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.

Roger Caron, a CHL-holder who has unfortunate experience with what it is like to be in a "no-guns" victim zone where only the criminals have guns, has notified OFCC that United Dairy Farmers has begun issuing a letter that reveals the reasons why they believe banning CHL-holders from their stores is promoting safety.

    Thank you for your recent inquiry to the Concealed Weapons signs placed in the United Dairy Farmers stores. We appreciate the time you took to share your opinions with us. As you might expect, this has been an issues the we have received quite a large number of comments - both for and against.

    United Dairy Farmers senior level management decided to place these signs in all our stores for primarily one reason - the safety of our employees and our customers. We feel the fewer weapons in our stores the less of a chance of a discharge (whether accidental or intentional). We understand that you may not agree with our decision but we hope you continue to shop in our stores. We sincerely regret the possibility of loosing you as a customer but the overriding factor is and always will be providing the safest environment for our employees and customers.

    If we can be of further assistance, feel free to contact our office.

    Thank you,

So now customers are told the company has a concern with accidental discharges, despite the fact that they have been doing business in Kentucky and Indiana for YEARS without any problems, and despite the fact that they have allowed CHL-holders in Ohio in their stores for the past year without incident.

Why does UDF think Ohioans who are licensed to carry firearms will be less responsible than Kentuckians or Hoosiers?
