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.

In a headline on the front of the Metro Section, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer, has finally gotten around to the asking the question many of us have been thinking for some time, “Are we safe in our parks?” The lead in to the headline reads, “Recent attacks in Northeast Ohio parks, which paralyzed one woman and killed another, have people wondering. . .”

When I first saw this I thought, “Finally, the mainstream media, in the form of Ohio’s largest daily newspaper, gets it.” No such luck. The piece turns out to be Pollyanna piece composed of mostly patrons saying they really don’t see a problem and public officials saying it’s business as usual, everything is the just fine, and ignore the man behind the curtain (the man with the big rock waiting to bash your brains out).
