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.

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

OFCC Joins VCDL petition effort to carry in National Parks

Ohioans For Concealed Carry has recently signed on to a petition effort started by the Virginia Citizens Defense League.

VCDL is currently on their second draft of a Petition for Rule Making (PRM) to present to the United States Department of the Interior.

Technically, Ohioans For Concealed Carry seldom gets involved in any federal issue. However, VCDL appears to have done their homework, they've shown they're open to input and modifying the petition, and they deserve every pro-gun organization's support.

If this effort is successful, and it appears a hearing will be almost mandatory, it will impact every Ohioan who chooses to carry a firearm for self-defense. Especially if those individuals frequently visit our national parks.

Today, every National Park in the state of Ohio is off-limits to Ohioans and tourists who are lawfully licensed to carry a firearm for self-defense. Such vast amounts of public property should never prohibit lawful citizens from defending their lives in a place where counting on law-enforcement to find you quickly, let alone defend your life, is wishful thinking.

The history is available on packing.org, and the petition itself (Adobe PDF) can be read online.
