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

The National Rifle Association is the only gun rights organization supporting HB274, a restrictive permit based right to carry reform package. You can download the legislation in pdf form right here if you'd like to read it yourself. On Wednesday, June 20th, 2001 there will be an additional hearing on HB274 for proponents. In a move which has united every single grassroots gun rights organization in Ohio we are asking you to attend this hearing, but refuse to speak. Do not fill out a testimony slip, just take notes and fill a seat. We do not support HB274 in it's introduced form and we are pushing the sub-committee to reform the bill. We will be speaking (and we encourage you to speak) at opponent and "interested party" hearings. By speaking at a proponent hearing you are making a statement of support even though you, like us, probably don't support the language in HB274. The meeting will be in room 313 at 2:30pm or immediately after session in the House, please arrive early.
