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.

On Saturday, September 29th, Ohioans For Concealed Carry held our fourth annual Party in the Park at Liberty Park in Powell, Ohio.

Over 200 people gathered on a beautiful early fall day to enjoy the company of pro-gun activists from across the state.

After feasting on burgers, hotdogs, and BBQ chicken, attendees were paid a visit by Ohio Governor Ted Strickland who worked the crowd before taking the podium to deliver the keynote address. The Governor spoke about the bright future of Ohio, as well as the importance of the citizens' right to Keep and Bear arms.

Also on the speaking docket were Professor Bryan Patrick from the University of Toledo, who spoke about the effectiveness of grassroots activism, Ohio Representative Michael DeBose, who recounted his conversion from anti-CCW to pro-CCW after being mugged, and Attorney Dan Ellis wrapped up with an overview of several legal issues OFCC is involved with.

Overall, this was our most successful, well attended picnic to date and we thank everyone who was able to attend!
