Did you Know?

In the state of New Hampshire, a Barber can pull your teeth legally (but probably not painlessly!!)

In the state of Maine, a man is required to bring his shotgun to church on Sunday, in case the indians attack during the service.

Got any old laws in your state? You'd be surprised!

In Pennsylvania it is illegal to sell wine and beer in the same store, and neither one in a food store.   It is still enforced!

All fire hydrants must be checked one hour before all fires in Danville. And in Ridley Park, you cannot walk backwards eating peanuts in front of the Barnstormers Auditorium during a performance.

I can ROGER the Beer thing in Pa. 6pak or single bottles in a bar and go to another store for a case. Wine and hard stuff in a State store. Good prices too!!

Yes, here in NH the only folks who can sell hard liquor are the state run stores. Beer & wine in any grocery store or 7-eleven though.

Oddly, all the state liquor stores are adjacent to major highways...

kinda mixed message that

Used to be, you could only buy draft beer in styrofoam containers on Sunday - no bottles & cans

No alcohol in supermarkets, etc. allowed here.

I remember the blue laws when I was a kid, but Somerset county got rid of them many years ago.  Ropes and barriers were set up in stores on Sunday, separating exempted products from the rest.

Bergen county is still a hold out.

One of the last remaining blue laws in the United States that covers virtually all selling is found in Bergen County. It has produced the ironic situation that one of the largest and most popular commercial shopping cores of the New York metropolitan area is almost completely closed on Sunday (grocery stores are allowed to operate). Furthermore, Bergen County has significant populations of Jewish (2000 estimate of 83,700) and Muslim (2000 estimate of 6,473) residents whose observant members would not be celebrating the Sunday Sabbath with most of their Christian neighbors. The substantial Orthodox Jewish minority is placed in the position of being unable to shop either on Sunday (due to the blue laws) or on Saturday (due to religious observance).

However, repeated attempts to lift the law have failed as voters either see keeping the law on the books as a protest against the growing trend toward increasing hours and days of commercial activity in American society or enjoy the sharply reduced traffic on major roads and highways on Sunday that is normally seen the other days of the week. In fact, a large part of the reason for maintaining the laws has been a desire for relative peace and quiet one day of the week by many Bergen County residents.

This desire for relative peace is most apparent in Paramus, where most of the county's largest shopping malls are located, along the intersecting highways of Route 4 and Route 17, which are jam-packed on many Saturdays. Paramus has enacted blue laws of its own that are even more restrictive than those enforced by Bergen County, banning all forms of "worldly employment" on Sundays, including white collar workers in office buildings.

Don't know if these are true or not.

In Oklahoma it is illegal for a man to carry his drink from the bar to a table if accompanied by a female.

In dry counties in Texas you purchase the mixer and add the liquor at the table.  The bottle must be in a brown paper sack and laid horizontal on the table.  It cannot stand up on its bottom.
