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.

Commentary By Larry S. Moore, OFCC Senate District 10 Coordinator:

WHIO TV, Dayton, is reporting the theft of a wallet left in plain view in a car at a Greene County Park location. The Ohio CHL holders will certainly recognize the plain view as one of the methods for storing our handguns in a vehicle: in a case that is in plain view.

The WHIO report includes some fascinating information such as, "Investigators said the thieves used a credit card before the owners of the vehicle realized that the card was missing. Police said the people who owned the vehicle had gone canoeing for three hours. Officers said when they returned, it had been two hours since the credit card had been used. Park Ranger Brady Smith said it only took the thieves 15 minutes to use the stolen credit card." That is certainly quick work for the thieves.

Greene County Parks are not posted except for any buildings as required by state law. Leaving valuables, such as a handgun, in plain view is not wise. Choose carefully how your handgun is stored when forced to leave it in a vehicle.
