The outlawing of carrying guns in public has been outlawed. Will your local casino remove their ban on carrying firearms within their premises?

In other news, smoking kills.

The outlawing of carrying guns in public has been outlawed.

That's not exactly the ruling in New York State Rifle Association v. Bruen. States may continue to prohibit guns in certain locations and circumstances, like hospitals, schools and governmental buildings. The trick is that the Court's decision does not really define the contours of these prohibitions.

Will your local casino remove their ban on carrying firearms within their premises?

The decision does not affect controls on firearm possession on private property, like casinos, the prohibition of which remains unrestricted. Many casinos with firearm carry restrictions are already located in jurisdictions that have generous carry rules, so it's unlikely the decisions will change much there.

Should Lake Mead fall below its “dead pool” level of 895 feet, Hoover Dam would be unable to release water downriver to California, Arizona and Mexico.

Lake Mead has dropped to an all-time low of 28 percent of capacity. The water level was 1,044.01 feet as of 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, a decline of nearly 6 feet in the past month. A year ago the lake was 1,070.5 feet (above sea level). The bureau’s latest 24-month outlook released earlier this month said it is forecasting the “most probable” lake level will be 1,014.86 feet by September 2023, about 9 feet lower than projections made just one month ago.
****************************
Only 5 of 17 electricity turbines can operate between 950 feet and 1,050 feet, so electricity output will be drastically reduced.
