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.

- Written by Jeff Garvas
Updated Again: OFCC now has a copy of all witness slips and written testimony submitted to the Criminal Justice Committee. Please see This 3mb PDF File to see what the other side is doing...
UPDATE: There will NOT be an HB347 hearing next Tuesday according to the current committee agenda announcement. OFCC expects a substitute HB347 to be introduced at a future CJC committee on a Tuesday. Please stay tuned for more information!
An Ohioans For Concealed Carry supporter helped us procure some audio of last Tuesday's opponent hearings.
We feel this is really important for those of you who have never attended a hearing to hear. Each of the anti-gun speakers is included in this audio, as are some questions from the members of the Criminal Justice Committee.
The Audio: January 31st Oppontent Testimony (MP3, Approx 1 Hour)
If you've never seen or heard the process, here is your chance. Please note that the audio has quite a bit of an echo due to the poor audo characteristcs of hearing rooms in the Statehouse. (the ceilings are very high and curved).
Are you an audio guru? OFCC is looking for people who like to do this stuff and live in Central Ohio. We've discussed recording these hearings with the Chairman Latta's office and have permission. If you own a laptop and understand mp3/wav recording we'd like to set up a few people with the neccesary information to record these hearings in much better quality in the future, or look at putting video cameras on tri-pods and filming the podiums. If you're interested, please Contact Jeff Garvas Especially if you have XLR to 1/8" headphone cables available! :-)
