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.

As expected, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle vetoed the CHL legislation passed by that state's legislature last week.
"I am very proud to stand with the overwhelming majority of law enforcement throughout Wisconsin who oppose this legislation," Doyle said in his veto statement. "This bill would allow loaded, hidden guns at shopping malls, concerts, banks, playgrounds and even school zones, putting our kids and communities at risk."

Lawmakers are confident the state Senate will override the veto, but the possibility of an override in the state Assembly is uncertain. In 2003, a similar bill passed and failed a veto override in the Assembly by just one vote. Until that happens, Wisconsin will remain one of only four states in the USA that continues to deny its citizens their Second Amendment rights.
