In a rather prude law, the state of Arizona forbids you to have more than two dildos in a house, regardless of how many people live there.

In California it’s illegal to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, of course, unless you’re shooting at a whale, that’s completely fine.

9

Florida

And now we have something incredibly vague: in Florida one may not commit any ‘unnatural acts’ with another person, so exorcists should probably stay clear.

10

Georgia
