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

I've been watching the debate on alcohol and guns for a while here and have some thoughts I would like to share.
I am a Bar Manager and have been in the bar and restaurant business for almost 20 years. I deal with large sums of cash and am at a high risk of getting robbed.
I firmly believe that anyone that has gone through the hoops and passed the background checks should be allowed to carry EVERYWHERE. I think restricting peoples' right to self defense on certain properties is NOT a good idea. It's like saying, "ok, you have the right to self defense here, but all bars and full service restaurants are CPZ's, so come on Mr. and Mrs. Armed Criminal, have a bite out of their pie, just leave this one alone".
Think about it, as more "other businesses" have the right to be armed and have armed citizens in them, the savvy criminal is going to eventually hit the places they know that law-abiding citizens have been disarmed.
Just my 2 cents for all its worth.
