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.

Candidate Stresses Need for CCW Reform

As the elections draw near, it is refreshing to see a legislator focus more on their job than their campaign. Representative Danny Bubp, the OFCC endorsee for Ohios 88th District, is able to do just that as he is running unopposed for re-election. This luxury has allowed him to perform the job that he was hired to do: Concerning himself with the concerns of his constituents.
One concern that Rep. Bubp is focusing on is the need for passage of House Bill 347, which will improve Ohios Concealed Carry laws.
"One of the most onerous portions of that bill is when you are in a car, you have to take (the gun) out of the holster ... and put it in plane [sic] view," he said. "This defeats the purpose of a concealed weapon. Out here in my district there is a real strong desire to get that changed."While one of the requirements for car carry is that the firearm be in a holster and in plain sight, some CHL holders feel uncomfortable with simply removing their cover garment. This could be due to the presence of bucket seats, seatbelts, or consoles that block view of the handgun. This means that unnecessary handling of the firearm must commence in order to position the gun somewhere else on the person, lock it in the glove compartment, or another approved case.
HB 347 passed through the House with overwhelming support and is currently stalled in the Senate. Please make sure you know who you are voting for and what their intentions are. Visit VoteYourGuns.com for more information.
