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

Xenia 'Defense' Walker collects over 190,000 votes in US Senate primary

On a day when Ohio's Republican US Senators (Mike DeWine and George Voinovich) were voting to renew the Clinton Gun Ban and to put an end to gun shows (votes which killed an strongly supported legislative attempt to protect gun manufacturers from frivolous lawsuits), Ohio's conservative Republican voters were at the polls, firing another shot across the bow of the state's liberal Republican leadership. About 1 in every 4 Republican primary voters voted for John Mitchell, who participated in the Xenia open carry 'Defense' Walk last year, over George Voinovich.

About one in every four Ohio Republicans voted for John Mitchel for the United States Senate in the Tuesday, March 2nd primary. Mitchel, a former Air Force Lieutenant Colonel conducted a low budget campaign, but still received over 190,000 votes. Colonel Mitchel declared that a meaningful victory as he spent less than $300, including the $150 filing fee. He thanked his supporters, and promised to continue his mission to help return the Republican Party to their bedrock principles of limited government and encouraging Americans to take on more personal responsibility.
"Our campaign proved that ideas and leadership, rather than money and influence peddling can attract voters," commented Colonel Mitchel. He added, "In fact, if you break it down to money spent per vote, for each penny we spent campaigning, I received about 16 votes -- that's 16 votes for each PENNY spent! Contrast that with my opponent's $4.6 million campaign treasury, and my race against Governor Taft in 1998 when he spent over $10 for each vote. I think it sends a strong message that a growing number of Ohio Republicans want to take their party back from the special interests, who often support both Republicans and Democrats in the same race to hedge their bets."
Mitchel did come up a winner in one election on Tuesday. He won a seat to serve for four years on the Greene County Republican Central Committee. U.S. Senator Mike DeWine, who comes up for reelection in 2006 resides in Greene County.
