Texas finally amended this but in prior years if you wanted a CCP you could qualify with a pistol and carry either a revolver or a pistol. If you qualified with a revolver, that is all you could carry.

I thought that was plenty dumb but then I hear about no hunting on a Sunday and then here recently no starting a leaf blower on a Sunday.

What can you add to the countries dumbest laws or regs contest? Let's have em boys!

The only state in the Union outside of Hawaii that doesn't allow some meaningful form of non-resident trapping

Legally if an Amish buggy comes towards you on a road, you are supposed to pull over, disassemble your car and wait for them to pass. There was talk a few years ago of getting rid of this rule.

Can only snare or cage trap. According to them I can set power snares with no problem, but set some steel in the ground you better have a permit. I guess to them it’s easier to release a non target out of a power snare than it is a dp or foothold. But what do I know.

Can’t run your dogs on a dirt road outside of city limits if it is maintained by the county. Even if signage states it is

Hate crime laws, of which Arkansas doesn't have one, are thought crimes. Those are dumb laws.
Dry counties don't make much sense in this day and age but we still have them here in Arkansas.

I don't know and don't care. I tend to go with common sense and probably break a law a day but as I said, I don't care.

Beaver only snaring. Incidental otter, muskrat, coon must be tossed in the ditch.

Some towns its illegal to honk a car horn. Leftover law from horse and buggy days.
In Cambridge NE fakirs are unlawful.

Not the first time I have heard that argument to support seat belt laws but how does someone flying through a windshield cost the rest of us more money than say, growing old and wasting away for decades on social security and medicare?

Archery and Squirrel hunting are in at the same time.

The hunter shooting up into the trees With a gun must wear orange, but the guy sitting up in the tree with a bow doesn't. laugh

Not my state, but I work in Wyoming as a guide. Lion hunter has to wear orange when shooting a lion, guide or anyone else along doesn't, only the guy pulling the trigger. And only when he is getting ready to shoot it at the base of a tree with a bunch of dogs barking every breath. Doesn't have to wear it when walking into the tree.
