Michigan: Muskegon State Park’s Scenic Drive to close Nov. 1 through April 1

To accommodate a water main project in Muskegon State Park, Scenic Drive south of the Memorial Drive intersection will be closed November through March.

The work is part of Muskegon County’s $13.5 million Channel Crossing Project that will provide a second water source to customers in the northern part of Muskegon County in the case of major break in the current water source. Ultimately, the project will transport water from the Muskegon water filtration plant and allow the state park to hook into the municipal water system, too.

The roadway will be closed for crews to safely assemble the water main prior to installation under the Muskegon Channel and state park. Construction is anticipated to take place Nov. 1, 2021, through April 1, 2022. Read more

Firearms News Debates Militias in Foreign and Domestic Matters

DENVER (October 26, 2021) – A new story posted on the Firearms News website debates the interpretation of the United States Constitution on the right to form militias and bear arms.

Writer David Codrea argues that while U.S. military personnel train European civilian resistance forces to thwart invasion, the U.S. government has worked to do away with unorganized militias of its own citizens. Citing the Founding Fathers intent of the use of militias, the article goes on to argue how Democrats and Republicans have impinged on American’s right to bear arms.

“David Codrea is one of the top Second Amendment writers in the United States,” Firearms News editor-in-chief Vincent DeNiro noted. “His perspective is always in line with that of the Founding Fathers.”
