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

''Reform the reform''; Ask legislators to make OhioCCW user-friendly
- Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
- Written by Jeff Garvas
The fight to restore Ohioans' right to self-defense was not an easy one. Many important provisions were left out, and many more harmful provisions were inserted, in order to get a law.
Calls to "reform the reform" began almost immediately after passage of the law last year, and with nearly ten months of experience putting the new law into practice, the need for improvements to this law has been clearly demonstrated.
Now that members of the 126th General Assembly are settled in, and now that they have received their committee assignments, it is time for citizens to begin sharing their thoughts with legislators on where changes need to be made.
To that end, Ohioans For Concealed Carry has updated its Write Your Elected Officials website function, which locates legislators' contact information for constituents who enter their street address. Users can then personalize the letter and the system will send it to legislators via email and/ or facsimille.
A template letter is provided as a starting point for constituents' letters. Letter-writers are encouraged to modify the letter by sharing their day-to-day experiences with Ohio CHL, good and bad. This will help legislators know what provisions need attention, and what provisions need protection.
Write Your Elected Officials Now!
The influence of this organization's members and supporters through this email/ fax system was highlighted in a newspaper article soon after the law was passed last year: Dayton Daily News: Gun Lobby Shows Clout in Ohio
