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

2007 Fun 'n Gun Recap!

Saturday, April 28th, 2007 dawned under threatening skies as more than 70 gun rights supporters gathered for the 3rd annual OFCC-PAC Fun 'n Gun fundraiser.
As the shots rang out, the clouds parted and sunshine broke across the grounds of the Rochester Rod and Gun club, giving way to a beautiful spring day.
Men and women alike joined with OFCC staffers, Rochester club members, and Single Action Shooting Society volunteers to a day of fun and comraderie. Proceeds from the event will be used throughout the state to help keep pro-gun candidates in office and continue OFCC's success in strengthening gun rights in Ohio.
Participants broke into groups and rotated through the seven stages of the event, breaking only for a lunch of chili-dogs, potato salad, chips and cake.
Geared for shooters of all skill levels, stages were varied and challenged participants to solve real-world types of scenerios.
One such stage simulated being roused from sleep at night. At the buzzer, the shooter had to jump out of bed and retrieve his or her firearm from the "nightstand" and engage two hostiles through the doorway. After crossing the room, three more bad guys awaited beyond the next level of cover.
Another stage involved rescuing hostages being used as human shields by their attackers, requiring careful shot placement.
Another stage involved Mr. and Mrs, Scarecrow, representing friendlies who had to be saved by moving from window to doorway to window and fighting off more bad guys.
Yet another scenerio involved shooting while moving towards cover before engaging more cardboard antagonists through a car door. Some of the skilled competition shooters managed to finish this stage with astonishing speed and accuracy.
The far end of the main range was set up with a plate rack requiring both speed and accuracy that had to be overcome before moving to the next level of cover, where the shooters tested their mettle against a metal target swinging in front of two "don't shoot" hostages!
The final stage broke each group down further. While the rest of the group practiced various target shooting skills, pairs of participants were taken into a darkened shed for a demonstration of combat flashlight techniques.
Overall, everyone said they had a great time and learned a lot about themselves and their equipment, and that they couldn't wait for next year!
OFCC would like to thank the members of the Rochester Rod and Gun club for the use of their facility, and the reenactors of the Firelands Peacemakers for helping to design and run the shooting stages.
