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

Finally: West Virginia/Ohio Reciprocity Recognized!

- Written by Jeff Garvas
On Thursday June 7th West Virginia's HB3074, a reciprocity reform bill passed a few months ago, became law. On Friday, June 8th, Ohio and West Virginia might finally put an end to the most common reciprocity question we get:
"When will Ohio and West Virginia come to some kind of agreement with reciprocity?" For more than a year now we've been telling people that the problem was in West Virginia, not Ohio, since officials in that state would not enter into an agreement with Ohio.
To the best of our knowledge Ohio has never had a problem with West Virginia's process, but was unable to enter into an agreement. Today Ohioans For Concealed Carry has learned that Ohio and West Virginia are expected to enter into a formal agreement on Friday, June 8th, 2007. Upon completion of a reciprocity agreement the only bordering state that won't "recognize" the Ohio license will be Pennsylvania where, unlike West Virginia, a non-resident license is easily obtained by an Ohioan.
Indiana and Ohio do not have reciprocity, but Indiana technically recognizes virtually any license or permit to carry a firearm. As such, the Indiana license is not recognize or honored by the State of Ohio and will not be unless the two states enter into a mutually binding agreement.
We congratulate the amazing work of Jim Mullins and the West Virginia Citizens Defense League for their success in getting their attorney general to aggressively interpret a reciprocity bill that they once tried to have vetoed due to its restrictive nature.
