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.

Equal rights under the Second Amendment

Ken Blackwell, who lost the 2006 race for Governor against Ted Strickland in 2006, wrote a compelling article about the Second Amendment District Court decision out of Washington D.C.
One of the best points Blackwell makes in his article is that this case could swing the debate over gun rights either way. A decision by the United States Supreme Court that upholds the D.C. ruling would empower the long held belief that an individual's right to owning and possessing a firearm shall not be infringed.
On the flip side, should the United States Supreme Court render a watered down or anti-gun decision gun control could run rampant across the United States with only case precedent and state constitutions providing minimal protections.
From the article:
Every American should care about this case, and every American should hope the Supreme Court clearly reaffirms this fundamental right guaranteed by the Second Amendment.
But, those who should want this most are people who grew up like me: blacks from the inner city, living in the projects. Good and decent people. They deserve to be safe too. They deserve security in their homes also. They are Americans, and the courts should respect their dignity and vindicate their rights.
