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.

Campbell Ohio Council Temporarily Repeals Gun Ban PDF Print E-mail

Ohioans For Concealed Carry filed a lawsuit against the City of Campbell last week after attempting to educate and negotiate with city leaders to repeal their illegal gun ban.  We were met with hysteria, denial, and procrastination.   When City Council sent repeal legislation to committee and supposedly began suggesting they had "home rule" authority to enact the gun ban the day before we filed our lawsuit, we believed a repeal may never happen short of litigation.

Despite demands from attorneys representing OFCC the City of Campbell simply ignored the organization's efforts to communicate via formal representation, forcing us to file a lawsuit in the Mahoning County Court of Common Pleas last Thursday morning.  The City Law Director responded to the lawsuit with a promise that the illegal ordinance would be repealed on Wednesday, April 21st, but comments in the Youngstown Vindicator suggested that the effort would meet opposition in council.   According to this Thursday story in the Youngstown Vindicator and this WKBN Channel 27 story the legislation has been repealed.

However, the Vindicator reports:

Council members have said they plan to revisit the issue of gun sales in the city with legislation that restricts them through zoning.

Ohio law allows for local governments to enact these zoning restrictions, with certain limitations. Ohioans For Concealed Carry will follow every move the City of Campbell makes with respect to the rights of Gun Owners, and will continue to pursue the City if any ordinance or zoning restriction they enact exceeds the limitations of Ohio Law.
