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.

Governor Strickland
Ohioans For Concealed Carry is thrilled to announce that Ohio Governor Ted Strickland has accepted our invitation to serve as keynote speaker at OFCC's fourth annual family picnic, the Party in the Park. His office has confirmed that the Governor is eager to speak to our members and supporters at this great event being held on the afternoon of Saturday, September 29th in Liberty Park of Powell, Ohio (just north of Columbus). (Google Map)

This year's picnic will start earlier than prior years in order to accommodate the obviously hectic schedule of Governor Strickland. Lunch will be served at 11:30AM. Governor Strickland is expected to arrive at noon and will address the crowd between 12:30 and 1:00PM.

OFCC is also pleased to welcome several other distinguished guests that are scheduled to speak to our membership. Ohio Representative Michael DeBose (D-Cleveland), who was formerly an opponent of concealed carry until he experienced firsthand an armed mugging attempt that convinced him to obtain a Concealed Handgun License will join Tactical Defense Institute (TDI) proprietor and past OFCC Award Winner John Benner. TDI is one of the leading firearms and tactical training facilities in the country.

Also speaking will be Brian Patrick from the University of Toledo. Professor Patrick has presented at numerous pro-firearm events, such as the 2006 Firearms Law and Second Amendment Symposium held at the George Mason School of Law in Arlington, VA.

Tickets are still available for this wonderful family-friendly event! We welcome all like-minded friends to share in great food, fellowship, and a chance to interact with the first outwardly pro-gun Governor to be elected in several years to the highest office in Ohio.

Attending the event is free. Limited Quantities of tickets for lunch (Burgers, dogs, chicken, sides, and drinks) are available AT THE DOOR on Saturday
