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.

2004 Election Results and Analysis

Ohio gun owners have a lot to be proud of this 2004 election season.
Upon the nomination of John Kerry by Democrats last spring, grassroots activists in Ohio quickly realized that the most intense threat to our self-defense rights came not from a state candidate, but from a liberal Massacheusetts Senator with a 20-year history of opposing the Second Amendment and of voting to ban the very guns we use to protect our homes and families.
This presented a challenge for the OFCC PAC, which recognized the importance of seeing volunteers dedicate their time to the President's re-election effort, but which also saw a significant threat to the pro-concealed carry majorities in the Ohio House and Senate. Despite the difficulty in finding volunteers to assist our "key race" candidates in Ohio, the OFCC PAC was consoled by the knowledge that a Kerry/ UN presidency was the most clear and present danger to improving Ohio's concealed carry laws.
Ohio gun owners and activists should be very proud of their efforts to re-elect President Bush. Ohio gun owners should be proud that they were not fooled by faux hunting trips or photo-op clay shoots. The activism and votes of Ohio's gun owners have ensured four more years of safety and security for our Second Amendment rights, and for our homeland.
Within the state, there is also much to be proud of.
