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

Ohioans For Concealed Carry files lawsuit against City of Campbell Ohio PDF Print E-mail

Today Ohioans For Concealed Carry filed a civil lawsuit against the City of Campbell, Ohio in the Mahoning County Court of Common Pleas (Case #50 2010 CV 01487) after months of attempting to convince the City Council that their gun ban ordinance violates Ohio Law.  OFCC has learned that an effort to repeal the gun ban ordinance was tabled or "sent back to committee," supposedly at the request of the Police Chief.  Ohioans For Concealed Carry has expressed to the City of Campbell on many occasions that the precedent in this matter comes from a case we already took to the Ohio Supreme Court with another obstinate municipality: Ohioans for Concealed Carry, Inc. v. Clyde

Immediately after the lawsuit was filed this letter was delivered to the law director of the City of Campbell requesting an agreement by the city that they publicly announce their intent to not enforce the law in light of this litigation.

Ohioans For Concealed Carry was invited, by the Young American Liberty group out of Youngstown State University, to attend a rally protesting the City's adoption of this legislation on Saturday, April 17th at 2:00pm.   When OFCC began to advertise the rally the city demanded the YAL group pay $2,000 in law enforcement wages for their peaceful protest.  There was talk of the rally becoming a protest, which caught the attention of the Youngstown Vindicator newspaper yesterday.

The Young American Liberty organizers have negotiated that down to a much more reasonable rate, and donations raised in this discussion thread allowed Ohioans For Concealed Carry to contribute $400 to the cause since it was our presence that nearly cancelled the YAL rally they so graciously invited us to speak at.  Today we advised the Police Chief on the lawful act of possessing a firearm in public in this letter faxed to his attention.

Ohioans For Concealed Carry has worked tirelessly since 1999 on behalf of the interests of gun owners, and only takes these matters to court when extensive efforts to resolve these matters diplomatically go nowhere.  Campbell has had ample opportunity to repeal this ordinance and as recently as yesterday implied they were justified in enacting this legislation, as well as implying in the Vindicator story above that the repeal will meet opposition.  We need your help to continue working for your rights when elected officials thumb their nose to state law:  Please join Ohioans For Concealed Carry, upgrade to a Patron Member, or make a financial donation today.
