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 Read the Full Story

Gun owners in Ohio should be proud of the successes seen in three Statewide races decided Tuesday. OFCC Endorsee Marc Dann came from behind in a last minute victory following an NRA blitz post card to Ohio gun owners. Dann appears to have won the seat hands down and will become Ohio's next Attorney General. Anyone familiar with Ohioans For Concealed Carry litigation and the process of determining reciprocity agreements will understand how important it is to have a favorable candidate in this seat. Despite attempts to portray herself as pro-gun most gun owners saw the light and ended Montgomery's second run for Attorney General.

Ohioans For Concealed Carry was the first to endorse Secretary Of State Ken Blackwell in his bid to become Governor. Before any of the results were made public Blackwell conceded the election to Ted Strickland -- an A rated NRA candidate, who won the race with an overwhelming margin. Strickland stated he would sign HB347 into law and we look forward to working with Governor Elect Strickland should Bob Taft stop or hinder HB347's progress.

We have a comprehensive list of election results lower in this story...


As we write this OFCC Endorsee Mary Taylor has a commanding lead of 80,000 votes over her Democrat opponent. Taylor's victory is important as the Auditor is one of many who sit on the board of appropriation and determine redistricting. We hesitantly congratulate Taylor on what appears to be a pro-gun win in a statewide race.

Other races appear to be too close to call tonight. On Wednesday morning OFCC will continue to update the results below and bring a futher recap of the election results. If you have not followed televised reports you'll soon find out that Republican control of the House may have been lost, and the Senate majority is yet to be determined. We do not expect any major changes of power in the Ohio House or Senate at this time, and look forward to working with both new and old friends in the General Assembly.
