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

About 500 organizations around the world, with the help from the United Nations and American politicians, are working to ban our guns.

The first step will be an international treaty outlawing firearms enacted by the United Nations in July of 2006. This treaty -- the first step on their gun ban agenda before gun confiscation -- is a time bomb ticking underneath your Second Amendment rights if we elect a president willing to sign the treaty and a Senate to ratify it.

I have no doubt that, as president, Kerry would sign this treaty. Kerry has a record of more than 50 anti-gun votes. The House has the power to block any gun ban legislation passed by the Senate but has no authority to block an international U.N. gun control treaty.

Rebecca Peters is head of the International Action Network on Small Arms, and is leading this ban for the U.N. She led the successful fight that disarmed people in Australia. She threatens the rights of every free citizen on Earth. She's financed by George Soros, the same billionaire backing the Democratic Party with all the 527 ads to defeat the president. He's an atheist who wants to legalize drugs, remove God from our country, and legalize gay marriages. He has bankrolled lawsuits to bankrupt the firearms companies. All he needs is a pro-U.N., anti-gun president.

Don't think this can't happen in this country, because it can with the Democrats in office. We all need to fight for our Second Amendment rights by defeating the Democrats this election.

As the campaign trail progressed during the past months, both sides have stated their positions on a great many issues. The thing that amazes me is Sen. Kerry keeps referring to himself as a hunter who will not do anything to destroy our Second Amendment rights. Really? Is that why he has voted more than 50 times for gun legislation that would do just that?

A recent union mailing came to my house explained his pro-gun position, and had a picture of him holding a shotgun he received from a certain union. Trouble with the photo is the gun he is holding he himself voted to ban. He has a Senate record of being weak on defense and gun owners' rights. If you really want to keep America strong, cast your vote for a proven leader in times of trouble, George W. Bush.
