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

OFCC Praised in Guns & Ammo Magazine

Ohioans For Concealed Carry is being praised in the current issue of one of the most widely circulated magazines in the shooting sports, Guns & Ammo. The article cites the success our members' grassroots efforts have provided in educating businesses throughout the state that posting "No Guns" signs in an attempt to make their building safer is not only ineffective, it is counter-productive. Displaying such a sign only disarms the law-abiding and emboldens the criminal already intent on breaking laws against robbery and murder. That criminal is now guaranteed that he will have the only gun and no one inside will be able to defend themselves!
As the article notes, OFCC provides a complimentary service in the "Do Not Patronize While Armed" Database. This directory of businesses that choose to discriminate against Concealed Handgun License holders is a mechanism that allows Second Amendment supporters to be aware of these Criminal Protection Zones so that a licensed individual won't accidentally carry their otherwise legal handgun there and break the law.
So the next time you are looking to spend your hard earned dollars, be sure and visit the DNPWA Database to ensure that you're not patronizing somewhere you or your right to self-defense are not welcome. You can also assist our efforts by politely informing posted businesses of the dangerous consequences of their decision, dropping off a "No Guns, No Money" card, and adding them to the database.
We have had a lot of success in making Ohio's stores safer and together we can continue our success one building at a time!
