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

UPDATED: HB 347 Proponent Hearing Update
- Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
- Written by Daniel White
Proponent testimony for HB347 lasted well into the evening (beyond 5pm) in Columbus Tuesday night as more than sixteen people testified by the end of the night and a handful more handed in written testimony in favor of HB347.
OFCC president Jeff Garvas was the first person to offer testimony, but was certainly not the last! He reports that the hearing room was packed with supporters; including over 25 OFCC members wearing their blue denim shirts or similar blue shirts, in addition to many other members who did not have one.
We've recently learned that so many of you showed up that the standing room only aisle caused some supporters to give up and leave the hearing way too early!
Many of those who attended have recounted their experience. To read their personal accounts of the evening please check out the posts starting on page four of HB347 Hearing Tuesday - official discussion/planning thread (links to page 4).
Finally, there could very well be opponent testimony next Tuesday. If you were one of the many turned away, or if you couldn't make it to today's hearing and you feel disappointed, please consider either attending the opponent hearing (We need a showing of blue shirts). If you didn't get to speak and wish to, you must wait for an interested party hearing, which could be scheduled as soon as two weeks from the proponent hearing Tuesday.
THANK YOU to everyone who helped Ohioans For Concealed Carry pack this room. When entering the room Representative Patton said "you'd think you're giving something away in here". We made our point thanks to each of you who took time out of your lives, the couple who put off travel plans by a day or two, or those who took time off work to be there.
