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

An Open Letter To Law Enforcement Regarding Changes To Ohio Law
- Published on Sunday, 07 August 2011 16:05
- Written by Jeff Garvas
Based on the success of that event we're going to try it again, this time using the power of hundreds of volunteers to distribute a similar letter to law enforcement regarding the changes to Ohio Law that go into effect September 30th.
The three page letter can be found here: Letter To Law Enforcement - Changes to Ohio Law
This letter is intentionally designed so that our branding (name, logo, etc) do not appear on the actual second and third page. Our intent is to get agencies to hang this material up on billboards, discuss it in roll call, or otherwise distribute it to police officers as formal training. In order to get a number of people to distribute this letter without duplicating each other's efforts we're going to again use the Discussion Forums as a means to organize this specific endeavor. Agencies are going to be tackled on a per-county basis and assigned to volunteers who step forward.
If you'd like to help here is what we're asking: Print the letter out without modifying it and stuff it into envelopes and put proper postage on those envelopes. Then, print off address labels for the county of your choosing and mail those letters. Once complete, report back that you've finish that county.
Chuck in the forums is going to coordinate county assignments and maintain what is or isn't completed.
Coordination of the project will take place in this discussion thread on our forums - you must be logged in to post there. (Creating an account is free)
