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

This long campaign season is down to its final days. Next Tuesday the American people will make their choice. It is more important than ever that gun owners and everyone who values our liberties know the true positions of the candidates who seek their support.
The differences between Barack Obama and John McCain on the Second Amendment are enormous.
Barack Obama has such a long, openly anti-gun record that he cannot hide his true stance. All he can do is try to paper it over. If youve got a gun in your house, Im not taking it, Obama claims on the campaign trail, although he voted in Illinois to do just that. And he goes on to admit the real obstacle: Even if I wanted to take it away, I couldnt get it done. I dont have the votes in Congress.
Obama has voted to ban hunting ammo, proposed a 500% increase in the excise tax on firearms, and even voted to ban single and double barrel shotguns. Obama has voted to allow reckless lawsuits against firearms manufacturers, and against Supreme Court Justices who supported the individual right to bear arms.
In contrast, we have John McCain and Sarah Palin. Sen. McCain has a good record overall of supporting the Second Amendment, and Gov. Palin would be a stellar new voice for gun owners in Washington. Senator McCain has voted against gun and ammunition bans, and opposes gun registration and gun owner licensing.
The record is clear. Barack Obama, with his career of supporting every gun control scheme hes ever encountered, represents a real threat to Second Amendment rights.
The differences between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin on firearms issues are even more stark. Joe Biden has been a leading proponent of restrictive gun laws for over 30 years. In contrast, Sarah Palin is a gun owner, hunter, and life member of the NRA. She has a 100% pro-gun record as a mayor and as governor of Alaska.
Our mission to protect Second Amendment rights means we must ensure that no one has the chance to push the radical anti-gun schemes such as Barack Obama promoted in Illinois, or which he and Joe Biden have voted for in the U.S. Senate. And our mission is to ensure that the Congress, the governors and the state legislatures all stand against those anti-gun policies.
To do this we all must know the real positions of the candidates. Those who truly support the Second Amendment have been endorsed by the NRA Political Victory Fund. Go to www.NRAPVF.org for more informationand share it with your family and friends.
