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.

A new threat to concealed carry license holders comes in the form of Senate Bill 292, introduced by Senator Ray Miller from Columbus (D-15)


Miller's legislation is best described by the bill's synopsis:
...to permit political subdivisions to prohibit the carrying of concealed handguns in any park, swimming pool, sports field, or other outdoor premises or property owned, leased, or otherwise under the control of the political subdivision.
In other words, every local government other than a township would be permitted to create a "no guns" criminal protection zone anywhere they wish. Some might even stretch the "otherwise under the control of the political subdivision" to completely outlaw concealed carry within their city limits.

Ohioans For Concealed Carry has been sitting patiently while the Sandusky courts have refused to move forward in our litigation against the City of Clyde -- where illegal attempts to prohibit concealed carry in their parks were challenged by this organization.

Now, the latest threat is this legislation, and it must be stopped. Call your Senators today and tell them to defeat SB292 at all costs.
