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 Eureka, Nevada men who have mustaches are forbidden from kissing
women.

· In Las Vegas you can bet on any team--except The University of
Nevada at Las Vegas.
· In Nevada sex without a condom is considered illegal.
· 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.
· In Reno, Nevada staging a marathon dance is illegal, although
posting a notice on a fire hydrant about illegal dance marathons is not.
· In the old days in Nevada a man caught beating his wife was tied to
