SAF Files Amended Complaint Challenging New Jersey Gun Law

BELLEVUE, WA – The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amended complaint in its challenge of New Jersey’s revised gun permit law, adding one plaintiff and expanding its scope on so-called “sensitive places.” The case is now known as Koons v. Platkin.

SAF and its lawsuit partners are now joined by plaintiff Gil Tal. Other plaintiffs are the Firearms Policy Coalition, the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners, New Jersey Second Amendment Society, and individual citizens Jeffrey M. Muller, Nicholas Gaudio and Ronald Koons, for whom the lawsuit is named. They are represented by attorney David Jensen of Beacon, New York. The case was previously known as Koons v. Reynolds. SAF was already granted a temporary restraining order by U.S. District Judge Renee Marie Bumb in Camden in that case.

The amended complaint was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Named as defendants are New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin and State Police Supt. Patrick Callahan, in their official capacities.

The specific additional “sensitive places” designations that are challenged in the amended lawsuit include parks, beaches, recreational facilities or playgrounds or areas owned or controlled by a state, county or local government unit, plus youth sports events, an airport or public transportation hub, and various health care facilities. These areas were designated “sensitive” because the New Jersey Legislature was determined to “continue minimizing the carry of handguns as much as possible,” the lawsuit notes. Read more

Michigan conservation officers conduct stepped-up patrols over I-500 race weekend in Chippewa County

On Friday and Saturday, Michigan Department of Natural Resources conservation officers ran patrols over hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails, making contacts with nearly 800 sledders over the 54th-annual running of the International 500 snowmobile race in Sault Ste. Marie.

For many years, conservation officers have taken advantage of the race running as great opportunity to make contacts with hundreds of snowmobilers attracted to the area for the popular track race.

“Overall, activity on the trails in Chippewa County was way up from past years, as were the number of violations encountered,” said DNR District 2 Law Supervisor Eugene “Skip” Hagy. “The lack of snow in the Lower Peninsula compared to the recent cold spell with ample snowfall in the Upper Peninsula likely contributed to the large number of snowmobilers in the area.”

The stepped-up patrols began Friday, Feb. 3 and continued through Saturday night, as conservation officers patrolled over 660 miles and contacted a total of 782 snowmobilers. Read more

Firearm Industry Committed to Veteran Suicide Prevention

For more information contact:Mark Oliva202-220-1340

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is committed to reducing suicide – particularly suicide of America’s military veterans – that will be highlighted as part of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union to the nation tonight.

The White House released a Vision to Advance Progress on Unity Agenda in Year Ahead, which underscored the Biden administration’s pledge to reduce veteran suicides. This is a topic upon which the firearm industry is in agreement and is diligently working in complementary efforts to reduce the instances of veteran suicide.

NSSF, on behalf of the firearm industry, launched a partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) in 2016, to confront and reduce these tragedies. The firearm industry recognizes that about 55 percent of firearm deaths are suicides and preventing access to lethal means is a crucial factor in reducing this figure. Keeping firearms securely stored puts space between the period of risk and the means to act, and sometimes that space can help save a life. Read more
