Here in NH....me and my buds had to stand in front of the locked beer cooler until 6AM to legally buy before we went ice fishing. We got smart ...and now buy it the night before...so that we can be on the ice soonah.

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

NM ccw requires to qualify with a caliber you plan to carry or smaller. You can qualify with either and or pistol or revolver but if qualify with one you can't carry the other instead. Example; if you qualify with a glock 19 only then you can't carry a 1911 or a revolver.

Another one, you can't carry in a restaurant that serves beer and liquor which alcohol sales are over 60% of their revenue

One of the best laws on NM books....... it's illegal for idiot's to vote.

This law needs to be implemented and strictly enforced across the country.

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?


A 25 year old quadriplegic on disability and medicaid will cost society a lot more than a retired person with 10 to 20 years left. And, that 25 year old didn't pay into the social security scam as long.

Plus, flying through the windshield is statistically preventable. Getting old is inevitable.

Take away the taxpayer's obligation to fund it and everyone can go Evel Knievel as far as I'm concerned.

Here is a quote from the California hunting regulations:

"(c) No person shall kill or cripple a crow pursuant to this section without making a reasonable effort to retrieve the bird, and retain it in their actual custody at the place where taken or between that place and either: (1) their automobile or principal means of land transportation; or (2) their personal abode or temporary or transient place of lodging; or (3) a migratory bird preservation facility; or (4) a post office; or (5) a common carrier facility."

Look at #4. I have always wanted to drop a bag full off at the post office.

I don’t know if this has been corrected since I moved from Pennsylvania 4 years ago, but when I lived and trapped there, it was technically illegal to use a rat trap enclosed in a box for weasels unless it was in a waterway. In PA you can only set body grip traps in a waterway. A rat trap was considered a body grip trap.

Can't use an artificial light for hunting predators at night; in Alaska of all place. Even California allows that.

We have a trapping season on grinners skunks and weasels.
Totally rediculous . Nebraska by the way.. Otherwise, very liberal trap laws IMO.

Florida's law is actually building code in most states, I believe.
