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

Republican Gubernatorial candidate Pete Draganic has announced his withdrawal from the primary race.
In a press release announcing his decision, Draganic stated:
I have been afforded the opportunity to demonstrate that one simple man can make a stand and a difference, albeit difficult, it is not impossible. I beg of everyone to cast off apathy. Be active, informed and willing to contribute to the betterment of all.
Draganic often proved to be quite popular during his campaign stops, but was never able to crack into the mainstream; partially due to the fact that he was a newcomer seeking the governor's office as his first public race.

Press Release - For immediate Release
Pete Draganic to withdraw from race
Seven Hills, Ohio - February 9, 2006 - It is with great regret that I, Pete Draganic, am withdrawing my candidacy for Governor of Ohio.
It has been one year and three days since I officially launched my campaign for the Ohio Governor's office. Throughout this time, I have been tremendously honored by the support I have received from so many of my fellow Ohioans. I hope that I have not let them down in my decision.
I am especially thankful to those who have endeavored to include me as a candidate in their forums on an equal footing with my better-known opponents. Your actions are true to the fundamental ideals that have made this nation great, the freedom of choice and the free exchange of ideas.
I am blessed by the love, support and involvement that my family has shown throughout the entire process. I could not have accomplished as much without the dedication that my wife Lisa has put forth and without the support of my children.
I have seen both the ugliness and the beauty of politics and my life has been enriched as a result.
Most importantly, I have been afforded the opportunity to demonstrate that one simple man can make a stand and a difference, albeit difficult, it is not impossible. I beg of everyone to cast off apathy. Be active, informed and willing to contribute to the betterment of all.
My consolation is the knowledge that I stood up for what I believe is right and true, against seemingly insurmountable odds. I have broken through many barriers that others like me could not and hopefully I have ignited a spark of hope for those that follow. I have no regrets.
Ohio will remain in my prayers and its future in my dreams.
