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.

SB239 Proponent Testimony PDF Print E-mail

On Wednesday, April 14th the Ohio Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony from three people in support of Senate Bill 239.  Ohioans For Concealed Carry recorded all of the testimony and we have posted the video of Ms. Barbara Holt to our YouTube channel today.  Ms. Holt was the victim of an attempted robbery and abduction after she locked her pistol in her vehicle and went into a Pizza Hut to pick up a Pizza to take home.   She had no intention of staying in the Pizza Hut and she locked up her firearm to comply with Ohio law.

As she walked back to her vehicle a man attacker her with a knife.  When he realized she only had $4 in her pocket he demanded that she "Get In The Car!" and take him to an ATM for more cash.   Knowing that could have been a deadly decision Barbara fought off the attacker.    You can hear the entire story in her own words by clicking on the link above.

The Columbus Dispatch printed a story today as a follow up to the hearing: Senate rethinks concealed-carry ban at restaurants, bars - While the article is a very fair recap of the hearing and the legislation I find it odd that despite more than half of my testimony being about the FOP's biased and hypocritical position on this legislation, the dispatch said nothing of it.   Read my testimony and the Columbus Dispatch article and judge for yourself:

Here is the printed version of my testimony and the referenced attachment and a flow chart on how SB239 decision making works. Later tonight I'll post my testimony to YouTube as well.
