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

Ohioans For Concealed Carry has some of the best grassroots supporters in the state! For those who have been looking for a way to go above and beyond, we are pleased to offer a new PATRON membership level! PATRON members are regular voting members of OFCC but have a few additional benefits including:
This is a critical time for gun rights in Ohio, and OFCC is in the thick of the fight. In the summer of 2008, our long battle to preserve statewide preemption of local gun bans was successful. Thanks to our win in the Ohio Supreme Court in the Ohioans For Concealed Carry v. the City of Clyde case, all local gun related ordinances, registration schemes, 'assault weapons' bans, public park bans, etc. were invalidated. It was a long, grueling process, but we persevered and prevailed; and your gun rights are safer because of it. But we cannot rest on our laurels. We've all seen on the news that concerned citizens have been stocking up on guns and ammunition out of fears of new gun rights restrictions from the incoming Barack Obama administration. Since Federal laws trump State laws, OFCC will be heavily involved in Federal issues if your Rights are threatened on a national level. In addition, the work here at home is not done. Ohio still has some of the most restrictive laws in the country, and these need to be addressed. In particular, the ban on self defense while dining that denies your Second Amendment rights simply because you are in a restaurant that happens to serve alcohol, even when you're not consuming any alcoholic beverages. We also need to work to expand the Castle Doctrine to return the presumption of innocence to those forced to defend their lives against violent criminal attacks when outside of their home. Stand Your Ground legislation, which has proven to be a great success in every other state where enacted, needs to come to Ohio. If you're the victim of a criminal attack and forced to defend yourself, you should not be victimized again by a court system that automatically assumes you were at fault and forces you to prove otherwise. Our strength is in our members, and we truly cannot do it without you. Note that you can order multiple years and save us processing your renewal every year! |
