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

Commentary by Larry S. Moore, OFCC Senate District 10 Coordinator:
WHIO-TV, Dayton, is reporting that a Riverside (Dayton suburb) man woke up to the sound of burglars breaking into his home. His wife and son were asleep in the house. The only action this man could take was to pretend to remain asleep until the burglars left. This family is incredibly fortunate that the burglars were only after their possessions and did not attack. The technique worked to save his family from harm.
Personally, I don't want to rely only on "playing opossum" to save my family. Even an opossum will fight when cornered. It could have been worse as the burglars stole several shotguns from the residence. Another fortunate event is that the Riverside police were able to quickly locate and apprehend the burglars, who used a child's wagon from the residence to haul their stolen merchandise. WHIO reports that the police believe the burglars committed the crime to support a drug habit.
There are just too many lucky factors in this report including pretending to be asleep, burglars that did not attack or assault the family, and burglars walking down the street with a wagon full of stolen items.
All too often the reports of burglaries and home invasions include violent attacks by the criminal. This homeowner, husband, and father was certainly unprepared to protect his family. However, I suspect that rather than being unusual this includes the majority of families in Ohio. Many are very concerned about locking their doors at night but take no other precautions or preparations to protect their families. No one is exempt from a possible burglary or home invasion. Will you rely on luck or are you prepared to protect your family?
