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.

NRA-ILA Grassroots Alert Vol. 13, No. 11 03/17/06

NRA has negotiated an agreement with New Orleans regarding the firearms seized from lawful owners during and after Hurricane Katrina.  The issue is pending before the federal court in the case NRA v. Mayor Ray Nagin.  On March 15, 2006, lawyers for both sides informed the court that positive settlement negotiations were occurring.  After months of stonewalling, the city of New Orleans has now admitted that it holds a number of firearms, and that owners of firearms which may have been confiscated may contact the Property and Evidence Division of the New Orleans Police Department in any of the following ways:

by telephone, at (504) 658-5503

by mail, sent to:  New Orleans Police Department, Property and Evidence, 400 North Jefferson Davis Parkway, New Orleans, LA 70119

or in person at the same address.

Please be patient as records are incomplete, and the police are currently understaffed.  Records are most accessible if you can supply your gun's serial number.  Claims can be made based on proof of ownership, or, lacking such documents, an affidavit that the item belongs to you.

For those who go through the above process, whether successfully or unsuccessfully, NRA would be interested in hearing your comments on what occurred.  Please contact NRA Grassroots at 800-392-8683 or by email at https://secure.nraila.org/Contact.aspx.
