Oct. 3, 2007 - Strange Laws In Nevada

I thought it was interesting some of the laws still on the books in Nevada. I found the information at
www.2spare.com.

· A man is forbidden from buying drinks for more than three people other than himself at any one period during the day.

· Clark County: An ordinance makes bringing a concealable fire arm into the county illegal unless it is registered with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. In order to register a handgun, however, it must be brought in to the police station. Furthermore, you may not register a gun on the weekends, but the police may prosecute you at that time.

· Elko: Everyone walking the streets is required to wear a mask.

· In Nevada until the 1960s it was illegal to sell liquor at religious camp meetings, within a half-mile of the state prison, in the State Capitol Building or to imbeciles.
