DumbLaws that need fixing... With the election at hand, maybe someone will do something about these laws. Find your state on the list...and have a look-see

It is illegal to smoke cigarettes within 15 feet of a public place unless you have a Class 12 liqueur license.
That was only passed about 4 years ago. :-)

"The owners of houses with Christmas lights on them past February second may be fined up to $250." (San Diego, CA)

Whew. I am still without a bed in my new apartment and I was thinking about buying one this Sunday. That's a no-go in Washington. Since I'm a vegetarian I don't have to worry about it being illegal to buy meat on Sunday. I have no idea how to conceal a weapon on my person in Seattle that is six feet long.
