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.

Written by Daniel White

The Handbook of Ohio Firearms Laws is an everyday reference to Ohio’s gun laws, written for the general public by Ohio attorney, and OFCC member, Sean M. Culley. OFCC has purchased a limited quantity of these books which have been signed by the author and are now available for purchase in the OFCC store.

The Handbook provides a wealth of information that is detailed enough to meet the needs of law enforcement, firearms instructors and legal professionals; but that is presented clearly and in a conversational style that anyone can understand and follow. Culley presents so much information on each topic that the Handbook is a necessary and useful reference for everyone ranging from firearms novices with the most basic questions to veteran gun owners in need of more advanced analysis.

The Handbook provides all the information an Ohio gun owner would ever need, ranging from the legal regulations on purchasing a firearm and keeping it in the home, to obtaining a license to carry a concealed handgun. In addition to these basic chapters, the book discussions of less common topics, such as how to legally own weapons regulated by the National Firearms Act (automatic weapons, short-barreled weapons, silencers, etc.), law concerning the possession and use of firearms by law enforcement officers, and an entire section on the legal processes that a gun owner may encounter in the wake of a self-defense shooting. Nearly all of the book’s 185 pages are dedicated to original analysis and not simply filled will reproductions of statutes (which are available for free via the internet).
