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.

On Sunday, Sept. 18, close to 90 OFCC supporters gathered for an open-carry picnic in Cleveland Heights' Forest Hills Park to celebrate OFCC's recent legal victory in that city. Some came from as far away as Columbus.

Earlier this month, OFCC was successful in forcing Cleveland Heights to repeal several gun ordinances that violated state law and placed untoward burdens on gun owners. OFCC's lawsuit was filed after the city had for years ignored OFCC's letters, emails and phone calls.

Fox8 News covered today's picnic, along with WTAM 1100-AM and the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Attendees had nice things to say about the event -- read their comments, and some interesting behind-the-scenes material, here.

Special thanks to everyone who brought food, soda and picnic supplies. In addition to grilled hotdogs, there was a beautiful variety of classy treats.

We'll soon try to post some captions for the photos below. Click "Read More" to see more photos!
