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

Public Hearing for Xenia Indoor Range

On Dec 30th 2002 at 7 PM on the 2nd floor of City Hall in Xenia (101 N. Detroit Street, Xenia Ohio.) there will be a City of Xenia City Counsel meeting with a PUBLIC HEARING on allowing the existing ordinance integration into the current city codes. There will first be the public hearing and review of the changes. They will then convene and in at least 2 weeks hold another meeting so the counsel can vote on the issue. Of course, they can also table the issue while changes are made or other issues are met.

At this public hearing the PRO GUN grass roots movement will be imperative in getting the public perception up to speed in so far as WHO IS A GUN OWNER. At one of the previous meetings one neighbor stated "I did not want the riff raff in the neighborhood." Another neighbor said "I don't want to hear them loud pick up trucks with gun racks in the window going up and down my street." Folks, many people understand who a current gun owner is, however, the vast majority only sees the imaged and mug shots from the evening news. This is where they are getting their perception of who we are. We need to have as many responsible gun owners in the building as we can get. I DO NOT want to 'cause a ruckus' or put anyone in a combative mindset, this will only prove their perceptions correct. If you can be there during the busy holiday schedule I would greatly appreciate it!

If the new ordinance is passed, and is acceptable to TPDC in so far as allowing us to meet our business needs, we will have to apply to the Xenia Board of Zoning Appeals for the conditional use of the property. This will also require a public hearing and vote by the board.
