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.

OFCC To Debate OCAGV Tuesday In Youngstown
- Published on Friday, 27 April 2007 21:41
- Written by Jeff Garvas
Shortly after the tragic events at the Virginia Tech University Ohioans For Concealed Carry began receiving invitations to public debates and to provide speakers to large groups.
The Youngstown State University College Republicans have invited Ohioans For Concealed Carry to debate the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence on Tuesday, May 1st. (This coming Tuesday night) at 7:00pm.
OFCC will be represented by President Jeff Garvas, and OCAGV will be represented by Jeremy Burnside.
We strongly encourage our members and supporters to attend this debate. The issue of "gun control" is huge in the media and congress due to the Virginia Tech shooting by a mentally disturbed individual, as is the discussion of removing restrictions on guns on campus statewide.
Recent acts of self-defense in Cleveland Ohio have brought the issue of gun rights to the forefront in Ohio news media. This promises to be a lively debate and there is a potential for audience participation.
If you have an OFCC Blue Denim Shirt or Polo Shirt we also ask you to wear it to the event. The debate begins at 7:00pm and will be held at Youngstown State University in the Ohio Room in Kilcawley Center. Word from the College Republicans is that parking is not free unfortunately.
There is no charge to enter the event and no advanced ticket is required. Please help us fill the room with favorable supporters!
*NOTE: * We're currently finalizing a similar appearance at Ohio State University that will hopefully take place in May. If you live near Ohio State University please keep an eye out for news of that event as well!
