*Note (elisp) Major Mode Conventions::

   * The key sequences bound in a major mode keymap should usually
     start with `C-c', followed by a control character, a digit, or `{',
     `}', `<', `>', `:' or `;'.  The other punctuation characters are
     reserved for minor modes, and ordinary letters are reserved for
     users.

So while C-c ( should not be bound by a major mode, it can still be
bound by a minor mode, and you should move your binding to a letter.

Andreas.
