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

Montgomery to drop out of Gubernatorial Race Tuesday

It can't be said that this headline is a surprise, or that it wasn't seen coming in the "three-way" (don't forget Pete Draganic) race for the Republican nomination in the 2006 Governor's race.
To the delight of Ohio gun owners, Betty Montgomery is expected to drop out of the race for Governor in 2006 later today. However, Montgomery threatens to stir up the race for Attorney General next, becoming the third candidate to seek that Republican primary nod.
The Columbus Dispatch had an article last night titled Montgomery to quit governors race
Sources said Montgomery will announce her withdrawal from the governor's race this morning in Bowling Green during a press conference at the Wood County Courthouse, where she served eight years as county prosecutor beginning in 1981.Just how dangerous is Betty Montgomery in the Governor or Attorney General's office? Almost exactly one year ago today OFCC member Tim Inwood wrote a rather telling event recap about Ms. Montgomery that can not be forgotten. Today he reminded us of that essay, and there is more where that came from. (see below)
Mark R. Weaver, Montgomery's campaign spokesman, would not comment Monday night.
Although she could seek re-election, Montgomery will opt to run for attorney general, a post she relished but had to give up in 2002 due to eight-year term limits. State Sen. Timothy J. Grendell, a Chesterland Republican, said Monday that he intended to stay in the race for attorney general. The third announced GOP candidate, Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien, said he was shocked by the news but that he plans to proceed with his campaign.
