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.

OFCC members and staff received multiple responses from various Best Buy customer service representatives, all with the same statement.

    Collin,

    Thank you for contacting Best Buy. I'm Angela with Customer Care and I apologize I was not able to respond sooner.

    We appreciate your concern with our stores displaying signs banning guns on the premises. We are committed to abiding to all state and local regulations, and we are also committed to the safety of our customers and employees. Best Buy does not have a company-wide policy prohibiting customers from lawfully carrying hand guns in our stores. Signs prohibiting the lawful carrying of guns in our stores have been removed or will be removed in the near future.

    We apologize for any misunderstanding this matter has caused. Best Buy strives to provide our customers with the highest level of service, convenience and selection. We value receiving your comments so we may use this feedback to improve the shopping and service experience for all our customers.

    Thank you for sharing your comments with Best Buy. Please don't hesitate to contact us with additional questions or concerns.

    Best wishes from Best Buy,
    Angela and the Customer Care Team

OFCC also continues to receive reports that signs are coming down at Best Buy stores across the state.

As we suspected from the beginning, research by OFCC Team Leaders has indicated that the signs were most likely bundled in "Compliance Kits" ordered by individual stores.

OFCC Team Leader Collin Rink said, "We are very pleased that Best Buy has publicly stated that they do not ban firearms and those who lawfully carry them. Best Buy has taken a positive action towards ensuring that all its customers are safe by refusing to become a defense-free criminal protection zone."

Contact Best Buy to thank them for their efforts to stop the discrimination against law-abiding CHL-holders in Ohio.
