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.

Newark City Council backing down on illegal gun ban PDF Print E-mail

The Newark City Council is backing down on its plan to continue an old ordinance banning guns in parks according to the Newark Advocate.

"I guess I would say the time for philosophical debate has passed. We have an absolute obligation on our part to bring our ordinance into compliance with the Ohio Revised Code," [Law Director Doug] Sassen said. "To not support (the change) puts the city in legal jeopardy."

The article states that an ordinance is being considered to allow those with a concealed carry license to carry gun in parks, but according to Ohio state law they can't do that either. State law provides that municipalities can only pass those gun laws that are in line with State gun laws with the exception of discharge ordinances and zoning ordinances for businesses. All other gun laws are preempted by the state of Ohio.

In the article it was reported that "Mayor Bob Diebold also encouraged council to follow state law." So do I.
