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

NRA goes nontraditional

Perhaps the most enduring image of the National Rifle Association is Charlton Heston, brandishing a rifle above his head, stirring the crowd with his oft-repeated, "From my cold, dead hands!"
It is a tough act to follow.
Sandra S. Froman, the NRA's first vice president, is expected to be elected president by the NRA's board of directors on Monday, after the group's annual convention, which begins Friday in Houston.
She will not be trying to outdo the man who played Moses.
"Every president of NRA brings to the office their own skills, their own personality," Froman said Tuesday, shortly after arriving in Houston to prepare for the convention.
Heston, suffering from Alzheimer's, stepped down in 2003 after five years as a dynamic head of the organization.
"He was charismatic, well-known, I mean, a movie star," said one of the NRA's harshest critics, Peter Hamm, a spokesman for The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "He served the organization's wrong-headed goals well."
Kayne Robinson, who became president immediately after Heston, leaves office next week after a quiet and brief tenure.
Froman plans to use the position to emphasize women's issues, especially self-defense.
"Being a woman and a nontraditional, if you will, president of NRA, may bring some attention to the organization," said Froman, who will be the group's second female president.
The first was Marion Hammer, who was elected in 1996.
