    It makes you wonder what educated idiots made up such stupid laws?

    I hope I am never in Kansas at a railroad crossing! :) And pity the poor dog in Denver who can’t read! Lol
    I think the law dealing with a concealed weapon over six feet in length had to have been made approximately around the 17oo’s when rifles were this size…just guessing, here, since it could have been before the Revolutionary War. ^-^
    I love reading about crazy things like this! Have any more? :)
