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.
Our press release follows.

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

Dispatch Guest Column: Jeff Garvas On SB239 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jeff Garvas   
Wednesday, 28 April 2010 07:13

Today the Columbus Dispatch printed a guest column written by me over the past week and a half, Myths surround guns-in-restaurants bill.  I'm the first to admit if anyone needs an editor reviewing their work it would be me, but in this case editorial changes to the submitted article unfortuantely make it sound like changes made in SB184 are actually pending in SB239.   Suffice it to say I didn't write it that way and the editors are just not as familiar with the legislation as we are.  The column was written after many of us became frustrated with these two editorials:  Dispatch: Gun People Never Satisfied & Dispatch: Bar Those Guns printed within days of each other.

updated:  I forgot to mention earlier, if you're coming here because of the editorial and on the fence, please visit our youtube channel and watch the videos from Ms. Barbara Holt & Ms. Nikki Goeser

If you've come here and found us because of the editorial, there is a hearing today on SB239 and SB247 today begining at 10:00am in the Ohio Senate.   If you work downtown or can otherwise break away, consider visiting the Ohio Statehouse and testify in favor of SB239.  Otherwise, contact your Ohio Senators and Representatives and tell them you want this bill passed.

If you're new to Ohioans For Concealed Carry welcome!  Check out our discussion forums and consider becoming a member today.
