City Council is
reluctantly mulling a change to its law that prevents firearms in city
parks, as it conflicts with an Ohio statute that permits guns in most
public places, including parks. If City Council does not rescind the
measure, gun owners can take the city to court. Cleveland lost a similar
fight over a guns-rights issue in 2010.

In 2007, Cleveland sued Ohio, claiming that the state law involving guns
was unconstitutional because it infringed on Cleveland's home-rule
authority, or its ability to adopt and enforce its local laws. Three
years later, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled against the city, saying the
law was constitutional.
