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.

Written by Jeff Garvas

In March of 2003 the Ohio House passed House Bill 12 by a 68-28 veto proof majority

On June 18th, 2003 the Ohio Senate destroyed House Bill 12 and passed it 22-10, a veto proof majority.

On June 19th, the Ohio House moved session to 7:30pm in the evening. Shortly after starting session at 8:00pm they recessed until 10:30pm, which didn't really take place until 11:00pm.

The Ohio House just reconvened and immediately addressed Substitute House Bill 12. Representative Jim Aslanides mentioned that the Ohio Senate adopted numerous amendments and changes and respectfully asked the entire House to NOT concur with House Bill 12.

By a stunning 83-5 vote the Ohio House has rejected the Senate's version of House Bill 12

A conference committee is tentatively scheduled for 12:00 noon on Friday, June 20th, 2003. This hearing will take place at 110 and should be open to the public.

IF YOU ATTEND THIS MEETING PLEASE WEAR YOUR OHIOANS FOR CONCEALED CARRY SHIRTS Regardless of if you have done so or not, please make your position on Ohio House Bill 12 known to you Senators AND Representatives as what comes out of the conference committee may very well go back to BOTH houses before Saturday. The Ohio Senate has scheduled session THROUGH Saturday in an apparent effort to recess by the end of this week. It is still feasible that a bill will be adopted, passed, and sent to the Governor before July. The efforts of our grass roots volunteers is what continues to keep the pressure on these efforts. Please, don't stop now.
