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.

House Bill 347 Proponent Testimony Jan 10
- Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
- Written by Daniel White
The House Criminal Justice Committee will be holding a Hearing for proponent testimony on House Bill 347 introduced by Representative Jim Aslanides. This legislative proposal addresses several problems associated with the enactment of House Bill 12, "Right to Carry" legislation, which became law in 2004. This proposal will streamline an already successful law, bringing clarity for Ohioans and law enforcement alike.
Among other reforms, this legislation will do the following:
(1) Creates a clear definition of - plain sight in a motor vehicle;
(2) Allows for off-duty law enforcement officers may carry a concealed firearm 24 hours a day 7 days a week (a.k.a 24/7 provision).
(3) Creates statewide preemption for the regulation of firearms and ammunitions therefore avoiding the current patchwork of laws currently in Ohio.
(4) Further prohibits journalists from abusing the open records law.
The Hearing is scheduled for January 10th at 2:30 P.M. in Room 121. Anyone who is able to attend is strongly encouraged to do so to support this important reform.
