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.

ODNR Proposes Lifting All CCW Restrictions

Visitors to today's open houses held by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources discovered that the ODNR has formally proposed changes to the regulations that limit carrying concealed during certain hunting activities.

Representatives from Ohioans For Concealed Carry visited various district offices today to discuss the issue and we even met some familiar faces.

It has always been legal for a concealed handgun licensee to carry a handgun while fishing, trapping, or hunting any game in Ohio other than Deer or Wild Turkey according to the ODNR. The new rules would propose lifting every restriction that prohibits carrying a concealed firearm, including the regulations that limit you to "one gun" while hunting deer during gun week.

Restrictions to this proposal include prohibiting the hunter from using their concealed firearm for hunting purposes when carrying two firearms. If passed, the proposal would go into effect September 1st, 2007. Therefor, we urge you to print off this letter and mail it to the ODNR in support of this proposal if you have not already done so. Get everyone you know to do the same even if they don't typically hunt -- statewide restrictions like this impact all of us.

The text of the material posted at ODNR open houses reads like this:
The proposal would allow persons who are properly licensed pursuant to Ohio Revised Code to carry a concealed handgun while hunting deer and wild turkey. However, it shall be unlawful to hunt a wild animal with a handgun carried under a concealed handgun license. If passed, the proposal would become effective September 1st, 2007
