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.
Our press release follows.

It's refreshing to read stories like these even if they don't happen in Ohio, and its great to hear that nobody, especially Sandra, was hurt in the ordeal.
Dispatch: “Ma'am, are you holding him at gunpoint?”
Sandra: “Yes, I am. And if he moves towards me, I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill. I don't want to have to kill him.”
The last sentence of that 911 transcript is so telling of the self-defense mindset. In the past ten years that I've been involved in grassroots activism I've never once met anyone in my life who has wanted to use deadly force.

With the likes of the Brady Campaign calling reform bills "Make my day" and "shoot first" legislation the average person would probably be surprised to hear "I don't want to have to kill him" on a 911 transcript.

Perhaps Sandra's neighbor summed up the situation better than anyone else when it comes to violence against the elderly.

"Don't mess with the gray haired people! We still got a lot of fight in us."
