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

Gun Control Hypocrisy
- Published on Tuesday, 07 November 2006 01:00
- Written by Daniel White
For most Americans, guns are not a political issue. People buy and own guns to protect their families, not to commit crimes. The truth is that even millions of Americans who support and vote for gun control own guns themselves, because deep down they share the basic human need to feel secure in their homes.
The truth shall set you free. This quote was the opening paragraph in an article in yesterday's Hawaii Reporter, which was written by Texas Congressman Ron Paul(R).
From Rosie O'Donnell's armed bodyguards to Dianne Feinstein holding one of the only ccw licenses in San Francisco, the anti-gun world is rife with pundits who don't practice what they preach.
What is it about these people that make them believe that guns are perfectly ok for protection, as long as it is their guns; and that you can't be trusted with yours?
Do they believe their lives are more important than yours? Or is it that they believe they are the only ones capable of handling such a responsibility? It says a lot about their views about the "common folk" when they exercise a right they daily try to deny you.
Disarming the average law abiding citizen does nothing to make society as a whole safer. Rendering a person defenseless only serves to make the individual less safe. Whether in their home or out in public.
A story was recently run on this site about a local dentist who was found murdered. His body was dumped in another city, but there was blood inside his office which seemed to indicate the murder began there. On his front door was a "no guns allowed" sign. The harsh truth is that the sign didn't save him. Having his own gun might have. Not having one was his choice. Putting up a sign denied other people the right to make that choice for themselves.
But, at least he practiced what he believed. Not all who oppose to your guns are as honest.
