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.

"Ken Blackwell, a Life Member of the NRA, has been a strong, consistent supporter of the rights of gun owners," said Jeff Garvas, president of Ohioans For Concealed Carry (OFCC). "As Governor, we believe he will be instrumental in furthering concealed carry reform in Ohio."
OFCC Vice-President and OFCC-PAC Chairman Bryan Torok added, "It is past time to end Governor Taft's roadblocks to freedom that have for too long thwarted the will of the Ohio Legislature and the grassroots supporters who worked on this issue."
All of the Republican candidates remaining in the race to date have answered the OFCC Gubernatorial survey in a positive manner, placing OFCC in the unenviable position of having to choose amongst friends. However, member sentiment in OFCC's forums, as well as the results of several informal polls conducted on the OFCC Web site, indicate that Blackwell's viewpoint is the one that most resonates with OFCC's membership.
"We acknowledge that all of the Republican candidates remaining in the race are strong proponents and are worthy of being called 'Governor,'" said Dan White, an OFCC director. "However, at this time Mr. Blackwell is the clear choice of our members and gives us the best opportunity for improving the rights of gun owners in Ohio."
