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

Boston Mayor Brings Gun Trafficing Fear Talk To Cleveland

- Written by Jeff Garvas
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino came to Cleveland today to address local officials and state legislators to discuss "gun trafficking and violence"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer's coverage quoted Menino as "respecting" the Second Amendment, but "too many youths have access to guns" according to the article.
He said cities must cooperate with one another to stop illegal gun sales. One way would be to better monitor sales at gun shows, where lax regulations and straw purchases make it easy for traffickers to obtain and peddle guns to eager buyers -- including youths - who might be barred otherwise from acquiring firearms.We all know that Gun Shows simply don't cater to the illegal gun buyer, but the main stream media continues to portray the idea that gun shows are full of unregulated firearms sales. Anyone familiar with the facts and the law would know that dealers who conduct sales at gun shows are required by law to conduct the same exact NICS background check that would take place at a gun store counter top.
If the process were being circumvented does Menino and the Plain Dealer really think the ATF wouldn't be shutting down gun shows every other weekend?
Mayor Frank Jackson, the latest anti-gun extremist to rule Cleveland, encouraged cities to conduct more gun buybacks where junk guns are acquired for money donated by companies who want to look good in the public eye. Sadly, they do nothing but contribute to the endless cycle of "buying back" guns neither they nor the city owned in the first place.
The real question never posed by the news media is how many stolen guns are returned to their rightful owners after a buyback? How many are destroyed before a legitimate police report can be filed?
Sadly, these public charades will likely become common place under the new Obama administration.
