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.

Canton PD Event Leads to New OFCC Legislation When officer Harless of the Canton, Ohio police department came upon a vehicle stopped in the roadway most of us were focused on getting restaurant carry legislation signed into law. What took place that evening has become an international viral video, calls for the resignation of the City Council president, and criminal charges against a man who is clearly heard trying to state that he has a license. Ohioans For Concealed Carry has not just raised thousands of dollars in a legal defense fund, but we've written legislation to resolve this matter that Representative Danny Bubp has stated he's going to introduce this fall

Campbell Ohio Open Carry Rally Saturday PDF Print E-mail

For the past few months Ohioans For Concealed Carry has attempted to advise the City of Campbell, Ohio (near Youngstown) that their illegal ordinance prohibiting the sale of firearms was in violation of Ohio Law.  We thought we were making progress when an article in The Youngstown Vindicator suggested that council would repeal the ordinance. At the time, the law director acknowledged it was likely they could not achieve what they wanted to accomplish due to Ohio Revised Code 9.68.

Unfortunately, more than a month has transpired since that story was written on our website and members of Council have told us that the Police Chief may be intimidating council into tabling the repeal, sending the legislation back to committee and maintaining an illegal ban on the sale of firearms. Late last week the Young Americans for Liberty, a Tea Party movement out of Youngstown State Univeristy, advised us of a rally they plan to hold on Saturday April 17th and asked us to help spread the word.   Ohioans For Concealed Carry will be speaking at the event, and supporters of the OFCC (carrying firearms openly or not) are encouraged to attend to support this organization's rally and our efforts to educate Campbell leadership on the concept of following state gun laws.  Discuss this in our forums and find others attending!

Ohioans For Concealed Carry's general counsel has advised Campbell that we mean business in this demand letter, to which we have yet to receive a response.  The City of Campbell, Ohio is in or on the verge of being in fiscal emergency.  The last thing this community needs is a lawsuit they'll lose.

The event is scheduled to begin at 2:00pm Eastern on April 17th (This Saturday)

What: CAMPBELL SECOND AMENDMENT MARCH AND TEA PARTY

When: Saturday, April 17, 2010 2:00 PM

Where:

Campbell Municipal Court
351 Tenney Avenue
Campbell, OH
(330) 755-2165

Important 2nd amendment allert in our own back yard.

Young Americans for Liberty is hosting a rally in the city of Campbell on Saturday the April 17 in support of the Second Amendment to repeal an illegal city ordinance banning the sale of guns in the city.

Campbell passed 4-1 an ordinance banning the sale of guns in the city, and this law is AGAINST OHIO STATE LAW as well as is unconstitutional. Ohio state law strictly prohibits cities and municipalities from regulating the sale of guns.

Campbell doesn't care what state or federal law says.

Juanita Rich, the one councilperson who voted against it, will be a speaker, as will Varg, President of YAL at YSU, Dan Moadus former Girard city councilman and congressional candidate, and others.

In support of this illegal law are the mayor and the police, so we need your support. We are willing to stand up for liberty, please show up and show your support. The more of us there are the less vulnerable we will be.

News media has been alerted, WFMJ may be there, a live broadcast from WYSU is being discussed, as well as several freelance reporters.

The city of Campbell is in fiscal emergency. A lawsuit is inevitable, and the city will lose, costing the taxpayers money for something unnecessary. Let's do our job and stop this thing in its tracks before it goes that far. That is what we are all out here for.

Please show up and give us your support. Even if you do not live in Campbell, or Ohio even, this is your backyard and it can come to you next! Stop them NOW! Alert all gun owners and supporters of constitutional government limits.
