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.

The NRA is continuing to gather evidence regarding the reported gun confiscations following hurricane Katrina

An article in today's Daily Toreador articulates the concerns:

"The authorities always tell you to call 911," [NRA member Robert] Pratt said. "Well, with all the lines down, nobody in New Orleans could call 911. How could people protect themselves?"

A Louisiana state statute allows the chief law enforcement officer to "regulate possession" of firearms during declared emergencies.

Pratt said he has no problem with the regulations.

"But regulate is different than confiscate," he said. "If they want to lock down guns stores or tell the citizens they can't leave their property while carrying a gun that's fine. But going into peoples' homes and taking away their protection is unconstitutional."
