In a stunning twist, the two men who bombed the Boston Marathon apparently refused to comply with Massachusetts law regarding licenses to have firearms.  Who could imagine that terrorists who scheme to blow up public events causing mass carnage and murder police officers would dare run afoul of well-intentioned firearms laws?  Truly we at OFCC are stumped by this scofflaw attitude.   High caliber sarcasm, to be sure, but this point bears repeating.  In fact, it needs to be hammered over and over again to try and penetrate the illogical veil that covers the anti-gunner's logic.  How long have we pointed out that criminals don't obey laws?  Most crimes committed with firearms are with those obtained illegally.  The vaunted NICS check doesn't stop the gangbanger or terrorist.  The criminal with a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction still manages to procure guns outside legal channels.  Only the law-abiding get tripped up by the huge volume of gun laws we face today.

Today we're unveiling a new Ohioans For Concealed Carry website. To many of you it won't look like much of a change visually because we've stuck with our blue and gold theme, but trust me when I say that quite a bit is changing in the background.  Soon our visitors will be able to login to this website to easily renew their membership, sign up for our events, and more.  As you'll see in the new FAQ area of our website we're moving towards a very aggressive community contributed knowledge base in the form of a wiki.

Please bear with us as there will be some broken links and quirks.  We had to "go live" to see what would break in production and we'll tackle these issues over the next few days and weeks ahead. Discuss Issues Here

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 Whole Saga
