FPC Files Major Appellate Brief in Lawsuit Against New York City

NEW YORK – Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has commenced appellate briefing at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Calce v. City of New York, the organization announced today. The lawsuit, filed in 2021, directly challenges New York City’s ban on electronic arms like stun guns and tasers. But the case is not just about less-lethal arms, FPC says, because the appellate court — which covers New York, Connecticut, and Vermont — will, for the first time since the Supreme Court’s 2022 Bruen decision, have to address constitutional protection for ‘arms’ following a final judgment.

This, FPC argues, makes the case critically important for all arms, since the framework the court ends up applying in the case will most likely affect how the Second Amendment is enforced against many other gun control laws in the circuit. Read more

Key points 

  • Planned harvests include aspen and oak clear-cuts, oak clear-cuts, thinning of red pine and irregular thinning of oak-aspen stands.
  • Sections of the trail system will be closed at some times during harvest operations.
  • Clear-cuts are a strategic and effective forest management tool that can promote forest health and help limit the spread of invasive species.
  • More info on the specifics of trail section closures will be posted at the north and south trailheads and updated as harvesting progresses.

New Michigan state-record flathead catfish weighs in above 64 pounds

July 21, 2025
Contact: Caitlin Boon, 517-449-1180 or John Buszkiewicz, 248-296-2498

Codie Carlson was bowfishing Plum Creek on Sunday, June 29, when he brought in a new state-record flathead catfish.While bowfishing recently in Monroe County, an angler from Newport, Michigan, caught a new state-record fish: a flathead catfish weighing in at 64.46 pounds and measuring 45 inches!

Codie Carlson was bowfishing Plum Creek in the early-morning hours of Sunday, June 29, when he brought in the record-breaker.

This fish beats the previous state-record flathead catfish — 53.35 pounds, 43 inches — caught in 2022 by Lloyd Tanner, of Hobart, Indiana, on the St. Joseph River in Berrien County.

While bowfishing recently in Monroe County, Codie Carlson of Newport, Michigan, caught a new state-record flathead catfish.DNR fisheries biologist John Buszkiewicz, who works out of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ Lake Erie Fisheries Management Unit, verified Carlson’s new state-record fish. Buszkiewicz and his crew may have even caught this exact fish during a survey in the same location in 2020; at the time, the fish caught weighed 55 pounds and measured 43 inches.

Carlson, a self-described “true fishoholic,” said, “I thought I was about to shoot a channel catfish for dinner. Turns out, I guess we do have flathead catfish in these waters.”

About state-record fish

Michigan’s state-record fish are recognized by weight only. To qualify, fish must exceed the current listed state-record weight and be weighed on a certified commercial scale, and identification must be verified by a DNR fisheries biologist.
