California law banning guns in most public places again halted by appeals court
CBSN
A California law banning people from carrying guns in certain public places has yet again been put on hold, this time by a federal appeals court.
In mid-December, a U.S. District judge temporarily blocked the California law, which was slated to take effect on Jan. 1.
Then, on Dec. 30, a federal appeals court put a temporary hold on the district judge's ruling, which paved the way for the law to go into effect on New Year's Day as the legal fight continued.

Oregon's Durkee Fire – the largest active blaze in the U.S. – has burned more than 268,500 acres of land. And while that amount of lost land poses an aggressive and dangerous threat, there's another threat wildfires like Durkee can present that many aren't aware of: they can create their own weather systems.
