I'm pretty sure I got away with a few of those --. Almost tested one in NC once upon a time, but -- The elephant got away --
The truely sad part about some of those is the fact that you know someone did it for them to outlaw it. lol
Think there are a few ya missed, however the one about killing houseflies within 160 feet of a church, do the flies in church count? Or do ya call 'em church flies? (note: church flies are kind of like bar flies, only religious.)
I know at one time both Ks and Ok had laws on their books stating that every male member that attended church HAD to bring a firearm and 20 rnds of ammo with it for protection from indians. If you didn't it was a 5.00 fine. Hell for that matter Tx. still says you can hang a cattle rustler on the spot if caught in the act. Amazing isn't it.. at one time judgement was swift and you got fined if you DIDN'T carry a gun. My how things changed. Take care Be safe Poacher.
I think all states and Fed should have and expand the 'fighting words' doctrine where some statments of 'fighting words' were considered so offensive that any assault by the other party was considered as self defence. It would take care of things like Fred Phelps quite quickly not to mention most likely make a lot of folks a lot more polite.
