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

Senator Schuler Supports HB12 as passed by the House.
- Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
- Written by Jeff Garvas
Here is a verbatim copy of the main paragraph of the senators reply letter.
"I'm in favor of concealed carry and supported it when I was a member of the House. I currently am a sponsor of Senate Bill 24, Senator Watchman's concealed carry legislation. I will support House Bill 12 without any restrictive changes to it and will vote for it when it comes before the full Senate."
Click on the "Read More..." link below Though we allready knew the good senators view on HB. 12. I can not stress enough the importance of contacting your own senator to garner support for HB. 12.
We can win this issue for law abiding citizens. We do not want, nor need to repeat the experiment performed in states like Tennessee. We need to get a good law passed the first time.
Remeber not to sit back and hope that the Ohio Supreme Court gives us what we truly should have ( A complete restoration of our basic rights), It is very likely we will have to win this battle through the legislature.
Remeber being decent and polite to our senators is important. However you must strongly and logically make your case to your senator. Good arguments based on logical, and empiracle evidence is the best route. Be carefull not to create strawman arguments when presenting your case. But dont be afraid to let your senators know this is a vote costing issue.
