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.

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 Read the Full Story

URGENT: TWO HB274 HEARINGS WEDNESDAY

Written by Jeff Garvas
URGENT: The Ohio House Civil & Commercial Law committee will meet at 9:30am Wednesday in room 114. House Bill 274 is on the agenda for proponent testimony, but rumor suggests only John Lott and the Buckeye State Sheriff's Association will be permitted to speak. Even if the public is permitted to speak, we ask that you attend this hearing and do not speak during a proponent hearing at all. The CCL committee will be refering this legislation to a subcommitttee which is being made up against traditional rules. The subcommittee hearing will be at 2:30pm the sme day in room 313, and we again encourage as many of you to attend either or both hearings. However: Please do not testify during any proponent hearings. HB274 language is very bad and every grass roots organization is going to send a message to the committee by attending, filling seats, and refusing to speaking during proponent hearings until the langage is fixed. One of the worst aspects of this legislation (HB274) is the ability for it to become a discretionary permit where it allows a Sheriff to petition a court for as many licenses as he wishes to dispute. An anti-gun Sheriff and Judge could therefor create a discretionary county. This is only one of the many things wrong with this legislation. Please help us overflow both of these meetings and find your seat 60 minutes before each meeting
