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

Re: the Nov. 16 Nicholas Kristof commentary "Fresh thinking on guns needed":
Kristof says that you can tell if a camera is loaded just by looking at it, and that the same should hold true to a gun.
The only similarity between a camera and a gun is that they both use the term "shoot."
Every gun, and I mean every gun, should always be considered loaded until proved otherwise. It should be checked each and every time it is handled.
Don't take someone else's word that it is unloaded until you check it yourself. If you don't know how to open the action, ask to be shown.
Gun owners have to be responsible for their firearms, period. Keep them out of the reach of children and careless adults, too. We have laws that deal with irresponsible owners, and I support full enforcement of those laws.
Kristof also wants a "public safety campaign" started. Well, guess what, folks, it's been ongoing for quite some time now.
One example is the National Rifle Association's "Eddie the Eagle" program. Have you ever heard of it? If not, it's because the liberals have kept it out of our children's hands in school systems throughout our great land.
Bottom line is, if you own a gun, be responsible. Educate your family members about firearm safety. Let's face it, like or not, guns are here to stay.
