New York concealed carry case: Supreme Court rules against NY gun law

NEW YORK - The Supreme Court has ruled that New York's concealed carry statute that requires an individual to establish "proper cause" in order to obtain a license violates the Constitution by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense.New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen had been a long-term case against NY's handgun-licensing law.New York courts defined "proper cause" to require applicants to show a "special need" to defend themselves and not just wanted to protect themselves.The plaintiffs claimed that the Second Amendment gives people the right to bear arms."Thus, the nation is split, with the Second Amendment alive and well in the vast middle of the nation, and those same rights disregarded near the coasts," Clement wrote on behalf of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, or NYSRPA, and two residents.This was the court's first case on gun rights since Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the bench in October, making it a 6-3 conservative majority on the court.

New Jersey Assembly advances bill raising firearm purchase age to 21

TRENTON - New Jersey would change the age for purchasing rifles and shotguns from 18 to 21 under legislation an Assembly committee has advanced. The Assembly Judiciary Committee passed bills Wednesday aimed at tightening the state’s already strict gun laws. The measure comes after fatal shootings in Texas and New York in which authorities identified the shooters as 18-year-olds. The fate of the age bill is uncertain because the state Senate has not so far taken up the measure. Under current law, New Jersey requires residents to be 21 to purchase a handgun. The new measure would raise the age threshold to 21 for those seeking to purchase rifles and shotguns.

Triple threat: Watch as 3 waterspouts swirl off the Alabama coast

MOBILE, Ala. - It’s like a scene from the movie "Twister" – but only over water.Beachgoers in Alabama watched as not one, not two but three waterspouts danced on Mobile Bay Monday morning.More waterspouts were spotted along the coast, prompting the National Weather Service in Mobile to issue a Special Marine Warning for South Mobile Bay, North Mobile Bay and Mississippi Sound.While there was no threat to land, the fair-weather waterspouts are common this time of year through early fall along the Gulf Coast.WHAT IS A WATERSPOUTThese types of waterspouts usually form during relatively calm weather and are not associated with thunderstorms.A screengrab from a video shows three waterspouts near Mobile Bay, Alabama, on June 20, 2022. (Credit: Kelly Woods via Storyful) The NWS says that the fair-weather waterspouts generally happen during the early to mid-morning and sometimes during the late afternoon and form along dark flat bases of a line of developing cumulus clouds. "Strong temperature gradients between the water and land help create these localized areas of spin (vorticity) at the surface owing to sharp but usually weak changes in wind direction over the bay and adjacent gulf waters," NWS Mobile meteorologists told FOX Weather. The change in wind direction causes rotation. "In most cases like we saw today, we had a thunderstorm that developed over the area of vorticity that helped to stretch that up into the air.
