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 Read the Full Story

The weather couldn't have been nicer at 70 degrees with no noticeable humidity and the very rare breeze in the late afternoon.

John Benner's staff at the Tactical Defense Institute and the IDPA volunteers couldn't have been more prepared for what was about to take place either. 

All told about 90 people converged on the facility Sunday and shot in excess of 20,000 rounds in IDPA styled self-defense scenarios as well as TDI designed shooting instruction involving steel plates.  To top the live fire courses off TDI instructors put participants through a live fire house with soft air pistols and simulated two real-work shooting situations, leaving the student to react with no prior guidance.  Many people continue to comment on how well this taught them how much more training they wish to pursue.  All proceeds went to OFCC's Political Action Committee.

In our discussion forums, at OhioCCWForums.org, the discussion continues and participants seemed to have a great time.  Numerous photos of the event can be found at http://gallery.ohioccw.org -- and if you took some you'd like to contribute to our gallery please get in touch with us.  If you missed this shoot or TDI is a little bit too far for you to travel (I drove 4.5 hours each way) then watch this website for possible future shoots this year.  If you're looking for top-notch professional training that you can drive to I strongly and emphatically endorse TDI.  Over the past nine years I've been to TDI on numerous occasions, racking up well over forty-eight hours of professional handgun training.  The instruction is priceless (and worth every single penny).  For their up coming schedule of classes see their website above.

A special thanks goes out to the people who showed up Saturday and set the event up and then ran it all day Sunday.  We could not have done this without you and you contributions to the cause are greatly appreciated.
