Michigan State football has found a new prospect in the 2025 recruiting class to extend an offer to. Notably, so late in the cycle, any new offer holds major significance.

Chaney was once committed to Georgia State, but has backed off of that commitment. After a solid fall, he has received offers from Eastern Michigan, Oregon State and USF, along with MSU to go along with his initial crop of offers.

A 6’1″, 185 pound cornerback, be on the lookout for Michigan State to potentially make a move here if things do not work out with a couple of other prospects.

Nearly a year after Minnesota’s red flag law took effect, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office says it’s looking to expand information and training on how it works.

The law enacted in January allows a judge to temporarily confiscate a person’s firearms and stop them from purchasing more if they are at risk of harming themselves or someone else. It’s also known as an extreme risk protection order (ERPO).

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said she’s already seen the law save lives. One order went out for a woman in Hennepin County who had told family members she intended to harm herself. When she went to a store to buy a firearm, she was turned away.

“The store checked, saw it there and did not allow her to purchase a gun,” Moriarty said. “This family’s action in getting the ERPO bought their loved one time, which hopefully saved her life.”

Hennepin County has issued 26 of these orders so far, Moriarty said. That’s about a quarter of the statewide total.

Moriarty said her office has been training law enforcement on how and when to petition a judge for an ERPO, and on how to carry out the confiscation. Now, they’re looking to add community trainings.

“I think if you asked the public, ‘did you know, Minnesota has a red flag law?’ they probably don’t know that,” Moriarty said. “It’s such a good tool, and we want everybody to know that it exists.”

Anyone — not just law enforcement — can petition a judge for an ERPO for at-risk romantic partners or members of their household. Petition forms are available on the Minnesota courts website; the petitions go to a judge, who decides whether to grant the order.

Assistant County Attorney Rana Alexander has organized the county’s trainings around ERPOs. She said judges in Hennepin County generally issue ERPOs within hours of receiving a petition. When granted, the order goes out to police to confiscate firearms.

Within 14 days, a hearing is held for parties to discuss the order and determine whether or not to let it stand for up to a year.

Alexander noted that protection orders are separate from criminal cases.

“Someone didn’t necessarily do something wrong or something illegal for an ERPO to be sought or granted,” Alexander said. “In most cases, the petitioner is seeking an ERPO out of great concern and care for the respondent.”

Other jurisdictions are also looking to expand awareness and use of the red flag law. Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said earlier this month that he is encouraging law enforcement to make full use of the law.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced his office will file a lawsuit against Jackson County over a gun ordinance recently passed by the county’s legislature.

The ordinance, introduced by Jackson County Legislator Manny Abarca, prevents 18- to 21-year-olds from buying pistols or semiautomatic rifles.

“I will be filing suit against Jackson County for their illegal attempt to violate Missourians’ right to keep and bear arms,” Bailey posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account.

Bailey’s office also ordered the county to preserve all records and communications from the legislature related to the measure.

The ordinance was opposed and even vetoed by County Executive Frank White, Jr., who warned the legislature it could open the county to legal battles like the one Bailey threatened.

Still, the legislature voted to overturn his White’s veto, a move he called “disappointing.”

White released a statement on Bailey’s intent to sue the county, saying he wasn’t surprised.

“This announcement comes as no surprise. From the start, I made it clear that this ordinance violated Missouri law,” White said in part in a statement. “While I strongly disagree with the state’s preemption of local gun regulations — because I believe communities should have the ability to protect themselves—ignoring the law doesn’t lead to progress. It leads to predictable legal challenges and wasted resources, and unfortunately, this ordinance will do more harm to gun safety advocacy than doing nothing at all.”

On Tuesday, White said his office was receiving concerns about the ordinance and called on the legislature to amend the measure to add protections for young hunters at a Wednesday meeting.

Abarca and other legislators subsequently skipped the meeting to protest an ongoing disagreement on how to allocate over $70 million in ARPA funding.
