On Saturday, September 29th, Ohioans For Concealed Carry held our fourth annual Party in the Park at Liberty Park in Powell, Ohio. Over 200 people gathered on a beautiful early fall day to enjoy the company of pro-gun activists from across the state. After feasting on burgers, hotdogs, and BBQ chicken, attendees were paid a visit by Ohio Governor Ted Strickland who worked the crowd before taking the podium to deliver the keynote address. The Governor spoke about the bright future of Ohio, as well as the importance of the citizens' right to Keep and Bear arms. Also on the speaking docket were Professor Bryan Patrick from the University of Toledo, who spoke about the effectiveness of grassroots activism, Ohio Representative Michael DeBose, who recounted his conversion from anti-CCW to pro-CCW after being mugged, and Attorney Dan Ellis wrapped up with an overview of several legal issues OFCC is involved with. Overall, this was our most successful, well attended picnic to date and we thank everyone who was able to attend! Click the links below to listed to mp3 recordings of the guest speakers.
