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

Everything I need to know about John Kasich I learned at the dentist

My wife had a wisdom tooth extracted today. Not usually a jolly occasion, but we were in hysterics as we left the dentist's office. There, the newly toothless patient must exit through a special door, so they don't walk back through the waiting room and possibly frighten or offend those in line for their own extractions. We considered the dark humor of wandering back to the waiting room under the guise of retrieving a jacket while babbling things like, "Eighteenth century dentist! What happened to novocaine? Have you seen my jacket?"

As we drove home, I realized exactly how all this relates to John Kasich.

Candidate Kasich has failed to give Second Amendment advocates anything substantive to believe in. "Dr. Kasich" instead has treated the Second Amendment like a patient that he needs to send out the back door to be sure no one in the waiting room—the State of Ohio—will be offended.

I recently offered Mr. Kasich the opportunity to be interviewed for this blog, while promising I wouldn't take more than 10 or 15 minutes of his time. I also made sure he knew I'm a "credentialed" journalist. (I was elected in 1992 to the National Press Club of Washington, the official "media elite." But I'm sure you have skeletons in your closet, too.)

Word came back today from his campaign: no, thanks.

As a conservative Republican, it hurts me to ditch my party's candidate for governor, but here I have no choice. For reasons I've set out in other blog posts, I believe that, despite our current economic and social chaos, the Second Amendment is the single most important issue today, and remains the guarantor of future freedom, justice, and peace.

Ted Strickland has told us specifically what he'll do for 2A, and his promises have the weight of previous promises fulfilled. John Kasich hasn't told us too much at all, and his gun-rights record is mixed. Check out the video, here.

I'm going with Strickland.

Message to Kasich: Vigorously upholding the Bill of Rights in our Constitution doesn't hurt nearly as much as having a tooth pulled, and you can always come and go proudly through the front door.
