Where I live now...
In Seattle...
You may not carry a concealed weapon that is over six feet in length. (Maybe because I'm only 5'7"?)
No one may set fire to another person's property without prior permission. (Kinda takes the fun out of being an arsonist!)
Where I grew up...
In Arkansas...
The Arkansas legislature passed a law that states that the Arkansas River can rise no higher than to the Main Street bridge in Little Rock. (Cause we control how high the river rises.)
A man can legally beat his wife, but not more than once a month. (Thank you, Sir! May I please have another?)0 -
Now this Maryland law makes complete sense!

I used to live in British Columbia, Canada, where they have a law against "riding a horse furiously on a roadway" so I made very certain to ride my horse happily...0

Wow, those sound like the dumb laws on the books still in Utah! (Although theirs adds the after 9pm, lights out, no children in the house, both parties covered from the waist up/knees down (which means either wear a t-shirt and knee-socks, or cut a hole in the sheets), for procreation only, woman's knees may not rise higher than the man's hips, and both parties must be married. It does NOT, however, state they must be married to each other!)
It's illegal in Utah to use a salamander as fish bait.
Now I live in Washington ... it's illegal to shoot an Antwerp Messenger Pigeon here, apparently. Darn ... 50 just flew over the other day and I thought "mmm, pigeon sounds good for dinner"
Edited b/c my fingers typed "copulation" when my brain signaled "procreation"0 -
ALSO... It is illegal to have a snowball fight. Just sayin' what kid goes without a good snowball fight?0
